The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Not a bad price for this machine, but I noticed something a bit different about the reproducer:

If I am not mistaken it is the wrong one-it looks like an orthoponic portable

If it fits, or has been properly modified to fit, it should sound great.

Is that an "instantaneous" recording disc on the platter ?

Yes, the reproducer was from a Victrola Orthophonic portable.

This poor thing has been relisted several times now at a much lower price, and still it's gettin' no love. I'd be all over it if it were closer.

The current listing:

Looks like the price is getting closer to reality.

The price has dropped considerably. I keep seeing it drop on Ebay.

Its and 8 hr round trip for me. With the look of the lid, unless someone can tell me this is a really rare bird, the price and the drive make it a little to high yet for me. Not to mention getting a correct reproducer would probably be a booger.

There is, what appears to be, the correct reproducer on Ebay right now:

It should be gold plated-can't tell if this one is painted or plated from the photographs. I can't guarantee that it is the correct one, but it looks like the one on my Cortez.
