The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Picked this up a while back as a part of a bulk buy and it doesn't really fit with my collection. It's a horizontal Adler-Royal phonograph from around 1923 or so. The cabinet is in average condition with some veneer chips around the edges. The phono itself is complete except for a missing crank. The motor is a Saal type DD two-spring, which was also used in many of the Sears Silvertones among others. The tone arm and reproducer are in good shape. The cabinet has a removable panel to the left of the phono compartment to allow for installation of a radio chassis. I know it's sort of a plain jane cabinet, but the ebony inlay makes it stand out.

It's a little too nice to part out in my opinion and would make a good project for a beginner or for someone looking to hone their woodworking skills. I am located in Baltimore, MD, but can make arrangements to meet along the I-95 corridor in MD or somewhere else in the area.

Please PM and post if interested. Photos are below.

I had a tone arm and reproducer assembly once....I wondered what machine it went to. It seems these Royals had copied the Victor arm.
Btw...these must have been produced by the same Adler-Royal that made office equipment (typewriters, adding machines etc.).

Not mine but nice looking.....

One final offer before she gets parted out.

I just had a Silvertone cabinet come in that could use the motor...
