The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

As we enter the lazy days of summer and inch closer to the big CAPS show in LA in August, it might be time to move some stuff into new hands. Here is a list of stuff that I have which can be available for sale or trade, if anyone has interest.

It's mostly stored and I will need to manhandle some stuff to get to some of it, so if you are interested in an item, I'll get in there over the long weekend and get photos, details of condition, and other info for you. So let me know.

1. Edison Amberola 1A, mahogany (checked finish, maroon bedplate)

2. Victor 8-9 Orthophonic (metal folded horn)

3. Victor Electrola 12-25 (all original and complete)

4. Brooks Automatic Repeating phonograph, mahogany upright

5. Victor 8-35 (cabinet only, no internals)

6. Edison C-150, mahogany (very clean, with wire record rack)

7. Edison A-250 cabinet and parts, mahogany (stripped but essentially complete, project only)

8. Columbia Grafonola Model 100 (I think), oak

9. Columbia Viva-Tonal No. 127 (small upright, British, with metal folded horn), oak

10. HMV 158 (orthophonic console, British, with metal folded horn), mahogany

11. Edison 1-C Long Play console (cabinet, motor/horn - but without doors, reproducers, and LP mechanism)

12. Starr console, mahogany (laminated birch internal horn, complete less tonearm)

Some of this is very nice, and some not as nice, but each of them has a reason to not be in the house, where our space is limited.

The plan, I think, is to see who wants to know more about which item(s), and go from there. I will likely be able to bring one or maybe two items with me down by car to CAPS in early August for a hand off, and if we are nice to Jerry, other stuff might be loaded onto the Blais Express for delivery to other points on the Phonograph Underground Railway. I'm located in the SF Bay Area.

So let me know what you think, probably best by PM. Thanks for your interest.

Hauled most of this stuff out into the air and took photos this weekend. If you have interest in any of them and want a preview before I post the pix for general view, please tell me soon.

I've now gotten past some medical obstacles, and can resume this thread. I'll break out each of the individual items into its own posting, including the pix.

Here is the list, reposted in case the following items, not yet listed separately, might be of interest:
