Re: For Sale Columbia Cylinder Player inquire
That is a Columbia BQT that is missing the rear mount horn. Here's an example taken off of Google images of what it looks like complete.

Re: For Sale Columbia Cylinder Player inquire
The one listed is a BK. If there are holes in the back of the case, then it would be a BKT. The BK and BKT has a slanted carriage, whereas the BQ Rex has the horizontal carriage.

Maybe I'm missing something, but both machines pictured look like BQ/Ts to me...

Re: FOR SALE: Columbia Cylinder Player - INQUIRE
I'm not well versed in the off brands, (like Columbia & Victor, Silvertone etcetera) but if I recall correctly the BK is a front mount, straight horn cylinder machine, the BKT is exactly the same with back bracket and side mount carriage and the BQ is again exactly the same case, same works, top mount carriage.phonogfp wrote:Maybe I'm missing something, but both machines pictured look like BQ/Ts to me...

Re: FOR SALE: Columbia Cylinder Player - INQUIRE
That's my understanding as well. But I don't see any 45-degree "slanted" carriages (BK/T) in this thread - - only "top mount," "horizontal" carriages (BQ/T).Valecnik wrote:I'm not well versed in the off brands, (like Columbia & Victor, Silvertone etcetera) but if I recall correctly the BK is a front mount, straight horn cylinder machine, the BKT is exactly the same with back bracket and side mount carriage and the BQ is again exactly the same case, same works, top mount carriage.phonogfp wrote:Maybe I'm missing something, but both machines pictured look like BQ/Ts to me...

By the way, I like your examples of "off brands..."!

Re: FOR SALE: Columbia Cylinder Player - INQUIRE
I wonder if rear horn support holes are present in the rear of the case?

Thanks George. I always strive to be clear in my communications so it made sense to be totally clear on the "hobby standard" for off brands!phonogfp wrote:Valecnik wrote:phonogfp wrote:Maybe I'm missing something, but both machines pictured look like BQ/Ts to me...
