The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am selling a really interesting project machine. It's a beautiful Columbia AO. The lower cabinet is beautiful with original finish and excellent decals. The nickel deck is really nice and the decals on the mechanism are very good. The motor runs great and the carriage spins just fine. It does have issues. The reproducer and lid are missing. Also, the pot metal carriage needs attention although the lift/lower lever moves freely and the carriage slides freely but does not engage the feed screw. It's a worthy project and the price is only $300 delivered to Union. Please call 541-990-0781 (Pacific Time Zone) or email [email protected] with any interest or questions. Thanks, Jerry

Thank you, Jerry!

I'm looking forward to adding this to my small collection! And, thank you George P., for being so incredibly helpful with picking it up for me in Union. You both have been extraordinarily gracious.

I hope I can return the favors one day. <feeling grateful>

Once again, Jerry, I couldn't be any happier with buying this fine instrument from you and I'm very grateful for you trucking it to Union with you!

Jean-Paul has the carriage and will hopefully be finished with it soon. I bought an aluminum horn from him, he was gracious enough to sell me one that has the original horn bell incorporated into one of his hand rolled taper bodies. I look forward to completing the AO and placing it in an honored space along side the rest of my collection for all to enjoy.

Best,
Fran
