My First External Horn Disc Phonograph

Post by CDBPDX »

Just got my very first external horn disc phonograph! I've worked on several for other folks, but this is my first. Not sure what it is, I think it is a Talk-O-Phone..?? There are no ID marks or decals on it.

Anyway, I think it's cool. Watch it play on YouTube:

Nice machine... I love front mounts and it does look like a Talk-O-Phone.

It's definitely a Talk-O-Phone of the type used as a client machine; for instance this Globe:
