Columbia Grafonola De Luxe

[Hailey]

Can any forum members who have knowledge of this phonograph please chime in here and educate me? I am referencing just the phonograph version, and not the combination music box/phonograph model. If you can add photos, that would be great. What I am wondering is...did all these phonographs have an ID plate somewhere located on them? Also, did they all have the large decal on the inside of the lid?
Any info you can give would be great, and much appreciated.

What, exactly are you trying to determine? Have you found a machine that you are wondering about?

Curt-
What I am trying to determine are the answers to the questions that I have presented. Regarding the links that you have shared...my original post regards an inquiry specific to the Grafonola version of this model. The links that you have shared reference the Reginaphone 240 model, or the combination music box/phonograph version. I trust that your search for the links was not too exhaustive.

I brought a Grafonola De Luxe back from Union for a friend several years ago. It had the same fancy case as its Regina relative. It had a Grafonola decal on the inside or back of the lid. I don't recall an ID tag but Columbia generally doesn't use a metal tag. The decal made no reference to anything other than being a Columbia product and possibly being "De Luxe". If my memory is correct, the pre-phono recession price was around $4500. Hope this helps. Jerry Blais
