There were some previous discussions around Wizard phonographs. Quite interesting machines. http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 97&p=75800

Thanks

Those Wizards are rare enough that I have seen only three or four in person and got to hear one. I have seen pictures and videos of a few more. That one being sold is rougher condition than most I have seen, but $3,000 probably isn't outrageous.

I found this YouTube link. Sorry, not smart enough to be able to embed the clip.

The machine apparently utilized a tractor engine.
