The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Just got this super-clean machine. Unfortunately, it is not working. My diagnosis is that there is a motor fault, as it appears to be getting juice after the coin drops and the circuit is closed. Might be a loose wire connection, or something simple. It worked perfectly when last seen by other collectors and then stored, unused, in an air conditioned home for a few years.

Keys for the cabinet door and coin box are present. The sign board appears original. The Triumph mechanism with repeater seems to be perfect. The beveled glass is perfect.

This would be a $20k+ machine if operating properly. $15k leaves plenty of room for repairs.

If interested, send me a direct email, not a PM.

thanks,

Raphael
