SOLD: Busy Bee Cyl Machine, Carrying Case Records - $550

[Crank_it_up]

I am offering a Busy Bee Graphophone that includes the original carrying case and 2 good records and 2 broken records. Starting with the machine it has an incredible original bedplate that still retains almost all of its striping and decals. The plating is very good as well. The horn has unusual double striping and although it appears to be old, I am pretty sure it is an older reproduction with just the right amount of age to it. The carrying case is in decent shape, but if not for this carrying case I am sure the machine never would have maintained the finish that is on the machine. The leather straps that go around the case are both broken, but a good shoe repairman could bind them together I think. Two of the records are playable, one is very good and the other is good. Unfortunately the 2 broken ones both have matching boxes and lids. I have owned a few of these Busy Bees and I have seen several, but none this nice. As for the mechanics, it just barely plays through a 2 minute record, but it makes it. Take a look at the pictures and ask questions or request more images. I have a lot o pictures of this one since I will likely never see another this nice. Shipping will be actual cost.
Thanks for looking, Joe

Cute machine! I'm tempted, but alas...the pocket book hasn't recovered from my latest expenditure. Good luck!
