The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Looks like a really nice deal!

Beautiful! But 580 miles too far ....

1115 miles for me, or I'd be on this like white on rice. A great-looking machine, and a great deal for somebody. I'm still waiting for one of these to pop up at a price anything like that somewhere nearer to me. Definitely want one.

A big thank you goes out to JerryVan for posting this alert! This was only a two-hour round trip for me, and I picked up the Cortez earlier this afternoon. Missing two needle cups, the top left record drawer pull ring is repop, and the corresponding round decorative metal plate behind that ring is missing. I will be looking for the correct parts. The turntable cloth is also incorrect. I should look so good after 90 years!

Thanks JerryVan,
Bob

Congratulations on a great buy, Bob! Not a great deal wrong with it, and from the looks of it it's in fine condition otherwise. From the ad, for those who read this thread after the ad's gone -- I hope you'll post more as it comes along. What a beauty -- enjoy it!

Bob,

Very happy you got it & you're welcome! I really love mine. These are wonderful machines. I know you'll enjoy it.

Looks like it has the all brass reproducer as well. Most were pot metal.
