The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I got this great Graphophone BS a while back and sadly it is missing the upper part of the marquee. I could make one if only I knew the dimensions, or had a drawing to work from, or a sample to copy. I will trade a nice copy of the insert sheet (see below) that goes in it to the first person who provides the information. Russie

Shawn sells excellent copies that are aged to look period correct.

Thank you, for that link. Yet, I would rather go through the fun of making my own. Cheers, Russie

Thank You, Darold,

Just wanted to let you know I finally completed the marquee for the Columbia BS. Thanks to your drawing and advice, I was able to duplicate it using old oak pieces I had laying around. Here are a couple of pix.

PS. I don't know why the pictures are upside down. I tried to load them right side up, then upside down. In both tries they are still upside down.

Nice job!

New oak usually doesn't look like the old oak - either in grain or in color. I have a few pieces from old, broken furniture that I use when necessary. Your result with the old oak speaks for itself.
