The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

It was posted for $250 some time ago and they have since dropped the price. Includes some records.

Looks like a nice Oak there and a great price. If I was 42 hrs closer I would take a look.

Not that it matters, but it's a C-19.

At any rate it looks like it's worth the asking price. I would at least go look at it, if it were in my neck of the woods.

They are now asking $175 for it.

Couldn't pass it up. It runs strong but makes a noise like a machine gun with a silencer. Shouldn't take much to fix that.

The gold reproducer is good, the cabinet, grill, horn, all good. As a bonus, a gold dolphin key and a bunch of R&B/blues 78s with Little Willie Littlefield, Big Maybelle, Sonny Thompson, Roy Brown, & Little Esther with Johnny Otis. These records were behind the record slats, didn't know they were there until I got it to the shop. Cool!

Here's a few of the blues records:

I'm happy! Thanks for the tip! Cliff

P.S. - The Edison records that were shown in the ad were already gone.

It is now repaired and plays great!

Congrats on a very nice machine and the bonus records!!!

I am glad you got it, Cliff. You got a great deal especially considering all the extras. That cabinet is really impressive looking.

Cliff, could you add your "new" C 19 to the database project by answering my survey? http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... 74#p141874

Have a great Holiday Season!
