The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I will try again. Had the wrong AJ in here.

Kudos!!!!

Here's a 3rd model AJ that is 100% original. Been thinking about restoring it. Think I should?

I wouldn't touch it.

Nice machines

Very nice machines & photo's. Don't spoil us with all at once....that is unless you want to?? . I too agree about leaving the machine as she sits.

From what I can see that Columbia looks fine. If it were mine I wouldn't do more than go over the turntable felt with a wire brush to remove dirt and raise the nap slightly. Otherwise I don't think it could look better.

They all look beautiful to me. Is one of the cylinder machines a Standard E? The morning glory horn looks very much like the one I had on a Standard E a while back (still kicking myself for parting with it). As I recall, the Standard E was the only Edison machine with a morning glory horn in blue/black with the painted flowers.

This is the only Standard E I have left. Picture isn't real good.

Here's a Fireside with a wood grained horn. Love this machine. Was playing with Photoshop.

The lamp column on the Modernola appears to be upside-down!
