FOR SALE: Quirky Silvertone - Only $150

Post by Jerry B. »

If you like quirky, cheap, ugly but cute little internal horn machines, this Silvertone may be for you. It sounds like it is mixing cement while it plays a full 10" record. It came to me without a crank or escutcheon so I found appropriate looking replacements. I am happy to deliver to Union or APS or will ship at cost. The price is $150 and it goes to the first person to say "SOLD!". Jerry Blais

OMG Jerry, I have that exact same machine with a totally different grille cut-out and it too sounded like a cement mixer when I got it home but with a little grease and oil it now sounds like a rock tumbling machine! Most of these Silvertone's have broken tonearms near the elbow joint and the speed control dos very little. And yes they are soooooo U.G.L.Y. :roll: how much to ship to 07825 ?? LOVE IT :lol:

I'd guess $60 to ship to your area. Perhaps there's a good phono-nerd-Samaritan that could be bribed with a bottle of good Oregon wine to take it back near you??? Anyone??? Thanks, Jerry

I forgot to mention that in the little plastic sleeve sticking out the needle cup is a Pathé ball stylus needle. Pretty tempting, don't you think? I can get it to Union. Hit up one of your phono buddies to take it a little farther east. I'll be back to Wayne but not this Spring. When we go, we will fly. Driving to Union is far enough. Thanks, Jerry
