The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Interesting article on the Brooks Repeating Phonograph. I have the upright. A friend picked it up for me at an auction early 1980's for $80. The cabinet (mah)is in beautiful condition as is the decal and interior,save for the tone arm base which was in pieces. In addition most of the mechanism was in a cigar box,it appears a previous owner gave up trying to get it to work. Took me several days but I finally got it working, amazing. George V had a tone arm base plus the operating booklet. Definitely a keeper. Just thought I would share. Cheers

Bill,

Nice Brooks Phonograph. I like these types of unusual machines! Thank you for sharing.

Thanks - You wouldn't have a Pierce-Arrow sitting in your garage would you?
