The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi all, i'm a newbie to here. And would like to say what a great forum!!
Can anyone help tell me a bit more about this wonderful machine I have?
It's a Parlophon (£=L - LINDSTRÖM). Standing aprox 4.5 feet high in a heavily carved oak cabinet.
The cabinet is flanked with 2 carved Vikings and a Vikings head to the central door? Works perfectly and is in superb condition.
I would really like to know a bit more about it as I have scoured out there and found nothing looking similar.
I thank you kindly in advance.
Steve

I have attached a picture below but I can post more if it helps.

Crikey, that's an awesome cabinet. Hopefully someone with catalogues might be able to help.

Wow... by all means, post more photos if you feel like it. It rather takes one's breath away...

That's what I said when I saw it for the first time.. The viking theme was a bit bemusing but then again carl lindström was Swedish born.... May be a link to it being carved this way! Just hope someone can help on it. Thanks for the comments though!

Welcome to the forum. What a beautifully ornate machine. Here is link to one of the discussions on this forum about Parlophones.http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... parlophone There is a link to a collector in Germany with several catalogs. He looked up my Parlophone model for me. If you search this forum (Search button upper right hand)you will find a few more threads. Jan

Thank you very much and thanks for the comments. It's a real beauty eh?

Love it. So over the top.

I agree Richard... I have searched and searched.. I just cannot find another like it. Really hoping someone can shed some light on it. Just sat down and listened to it.. Incredible genius craftsmanship.

Quite a cabinet. I think this is not a catalog item but a special order piece from a cabinet shop, with Lindstrom works installed.
