Hi there! Kindly give me some info about this machine

Post by brownIgirl »

Hey everyone! Check out this cool machine my neighbor sold me for $20. I applied some lemon oil for cabinets and the color brightened up considerably. I hope that was the right thing to do! But the badge with model # etc. was missing. I was able to buy a replacement toner arm for it but I do need to replace the Edison diamond tip needle and am having a hard time finding one.
The first record we played was the sons of the pioneers "tumbling tumbleweeds"
TIA for any info or advice!

Looks like a very nice high end Brunswick. It would be well worth completing. Nice find. Jerry Blais

Great looking machine... wish I could find one that reasonable. Usually people try to sell junk machines for high prices... this one is definitely NOT junk... :!:

Thanks everyone! That is what I was hoping to hear! The replacement arm cost $50 on ebay but at least it plays now! Even though the arm could use a servicing. It was pretty dirty and the grill is broken but it came with about 12 Edison records! We are excited to get it up and running so I can show it off!

According to the Brunswick website (above) and .pdf supplied here, The machine is on page 172, and is know as the Brunswick model #225, later changed to just the Model#22. It seems to be made around circa 1918 according to the catalog.
