The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This auction is for the nicest AB McDonald I have seen. For the purist, read no more. The serial number is 757581. This has been refinished and looks great. The original decal is there and in great condition. The mechanism has been re-plated and is really nice. The small mandrel has some dents but the cylinders go on. The large mandrel is in great shape and has no dents. I don't know if it is original or a reproduction. There are some minor differences with Jean Paul's. I don't have another to compare with it. The pictures will tell the story of condition. The cost is $2100. I will deliver to Wayne or Union. Payment must be made by check in advance. I will hold the check in exchange for cash at the show and give a 5% discount.

Nice machine BUT purist to me stands for original finish and NO repro parts what-so-ever

I may be wrong but I believe Ken was implying that the "purist" should stop reading (ie. as what follows may not be for the "purist").
