Queen Bee Phonograph????

Post by cleveland1996 »

Hi Experts...look at this item on eBay..
272529326113

At first thought it seems to be a Queen Bee but after comparing it to other known Queen Bees it appears to be wrong..what model is it or has someone just switched the mandrel??

I saw that too. Someone has simply put a Busy Bee mandrel on a BV. O'Neil-James never (as far as I know anyway) marketed a BV as a Busy Bee.

The real Queen Busy Bees are BK Graphophones with Busy Bee mandrels.
