The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am selling a very worthy B-250 project machine. The cabinet will clean and polish and look nice without refinishing. The paint and striping on the deck is excellent and the mechanism runs whisper quiet. The machine plays and sounds great. Reproduction grills are available for $125. I will sell it for $225 and deliver to Union next June. Please let me know if you have any questions or interest by emailing [email protected] or calling 541-990-0781 (Pacific Time Zone). Thanks, Jerry

Very nice Jerry. That's pretty reasonable to get into a B-250 - and with such good interior paint.

I'm interested in learning your machine's serial number. I haven't seen many B-250s with black paint.

Thanks,

George P.

It's serial number 4052. Anyone interested? Jerry

Thanks, Jerry. As of No.3424, the bedplates were still being painted brown. There aren't many B-250s around to begin with, and the black bedplate model is even tougher to find.

For someone in the market for a C-250 or B-19, this is the same machine, but scarce and interesting.

Hi Jerry,

That one looks like with just a little TLC
it would be good to go!

How's the reproducer? What kind of shape
is the stylus in?

Thanks, Chuck

The machine plays great. I first tried the reproducer in the smooth runoff area at the end of a record and it did not leave a mark. Next, I played several records and was very pleased with the results. Thanks, Jerry
