The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I'm enclosing pictures of this Herzog phonograph cabinet. Any idea of rarity or value? It's in mahogany, 54" tall, original condition.

Very nice cabinet and quite valuable. (PM sent) Jerry Blais

Yes, Very nice indeed. This is one for a disk machine and is missing the paper mache' horn. I also think there may have been a shelf added. I would reach out to StL Bill on the forum as he made the horn for his. Did you buy it?

yes, we bought it

Ken; Thanks for telling Cheryla about my horns for the Disc version of the Herzog cabinet. I do indeed make the horns having used an original horn for my pattern and mold. They are made to fit your cabinet exactly when I am given the dimensions of the back mount from the machine that you intend to install in your cabinet. I would assume that in this case it would be either a Victor or Zonophone mahogony machine. Good luck with your cabinet, it is indeed a great piece.

Ken, unless my eyes are playing tricks on me, I do not see any extra shelf. The shelf where the record albums are stacked is the shelf that the phonograph sits on. Bill
