The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am looking for a rear mount Zonophone with a brass horn.
All original..

There's a Zonophone on Etsy right now, looks original to me (I could be wrong) but not a brass horn. That 1932 date is throwing me off though, especially since it's an outside horn machine.

That's a beautifull machine...
What is Etsy? never heard of it, sellers location isn't listed, not many details...

Etsy is a place where people (mostly women, in my experience) go to sell vintage stuff that they find, stuff that they make, or craft supplies. I am familiar with the site because that's where I met my tailor. I find that the jacka$$-to-nice person ratio is far lower than Ebay; it is a really great site. And, since most collectors don't know about it, you can find some real gems. For instance, there is an Etsy seller who makes new horns specifically for Polyphone attachments.

Etsy was originally a trading platform for arts and crafts, but by now also has been overrun by professional sellers with China mass production.

These Grand Prize records were listed as regular 78s from the '20s. At $30 for 10, I thought it was a steal.

Sorry if it seems like I'm trying to sell the site, it's just like my secret little fishing hole that I'm finally sharing with the world

I agree...although sometimes, as with everything, you get some folks to are trying to "shoot the moon."

Oh, yeah. Some stuff is outrageous. That's everywhere that that happens.
