The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I am offering a super nice Model B Gem that is rare to find in this condition. I have plenty more pictures for you to view if interested. Not a lot to say except this little machine must have led a charmed life without being abused. There is light wear to the striping on the right side where your fingers hold the machine while winding, but still very little. The black finish is great. It runs out just like you would expect a Gem to perform, effortlessly playing a full record. The Model C reproducer sounds just as it should. If you like "numbers" like I do you will find the serial number amusing, it is 286286. The 10" horn is a reproduction and if you don't need it I will deduct $20. The only negative with this machine is the cover has some missing veneer on both the front and some on the back. The finish on the lid is so nice, but unfortunately the missing veneer needs repairs. Thanks for looking. Payment can be either money order or personal check. Shipping will be actual costs and will be well packed. Offers and trades considered.
by the way, the mandrel is super clean, I will take another pic tomorrow and throw away the broken record. Joe
