You beat me to the punch. I saw this and was going to post this. It can be restored to it's former glory. The paint on the horn and decals had me falling out of my chair, I was laughing so hard. I noticed the Talkophone arm, Columbia reproducer,and Columbia elbow, which I think are reproductions. I's better that your average Crap-O-Phone.

It seems to me that it might be hard to make this an economical purchase, given the cost of getting proper replacement parts. The Columbia parts would have some value for resale, albeit probably not a big amount if they are reproductions.
You could always use that horn to frighten little children at Halloween!

Did anyone notice that the “Remove This Plate to Attach Rigid Arm” tag is made of cardboard!
I agree, it needs to be saved, but not at this price.

Did this one appear on Pimp my Phonograph or American Restoration?
