The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I've heard about these but I have no idea their worth. I appeal for expert feedback. The guy is asking $525.

Looks like the push-bar / wooden brackets are missing / damaged, also some veneer chips at side near bottom ?

Proceed with caution...

Shouldn't there be a push bar on the back?

One just sold in the Trader section about a month ago.

I sold mine on the Trader section. Yes, there should be a wooden bar across the back. These are very scarce but his asking price is a bit high considering the condition. The bar could be made though.

It looks like the wooden brackets for the push-bar have been cut-off / broken-off... do you know how they attach? ( Assuming screws & glue ? )
