The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have nothing to do with this thing, but these don't come up very often. I have seen one of these in person, and they are kind of interesting. It's obviously an 'early' one from the date. HA!

Here is a rare phonograph - I believe it's 1904-07. Nice condition for how old it is.

Asking $550 - MAKE OFFER!!!

Wow - a beauty. I want, but it's 400 miles too far (and wallet is about 400 dollars too short. hah) ...

This cabinet is quite a bit more elaborate than my Model H, but I'm a fan of any Actuelle. They're so unusual! Looks like a very good deal at the price, even better if a lower offer is accepted.

I had one a long time ago that was in a cabinet that resembled a Victrola XVII and it sounded a lot better than I expected it would. They are very interesting machines and play well as long as they are on a solid floor and you don't do any jumping around!

If you remove one screw & loosen the other, the tone-arm rest can be swivelled out of the way to play 14" Pathé discs ... plus, the auto brake can be used with center-start discs. (I know this because I have a plain mahogany Actuelle)

Now that would be worth having. As usual, far, far away from me though.
