The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have 2 duplicates I would like to trade. The titles are here. I haven't cleaned the horn.

I kinda like the patina on that horn!

I would not polish the horn. There are plenty of shiny ones out there already.

Ditto on the above sentiments. I think you have a very nice Concert and the horn looks very appropriate!
I would put the correct leather belt on it if it were mine, though.

OK. I was kinda thinking the same way. The rubber belt was on it, and by the time they delivered it all I wanted to do was get it unboxed and put together. 7:30 pm!
I need to trade cylinders.

Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack your thread. It's just that I love your machine!

You didn't hijack anything. I am proud of the machine. I never thought I would have one.

Hello Amberola,
Are the Phoenix brand cylinders you have made of plastic or wax? I know the Vulcan cylinders are made of plastic or some kind of resin.
