The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This Standard AA is all original. This was the Standard Talking Machine version of the Columbia AU. There is paint loss on the base which is common on these. The reproducer was rebuilt by me and sounds great. I have not cleaned the motor or done anything to it beyond lubrication and the reproducer, the motor should polish up nicely. This machine will play through a 10" disc without any problems. I can bring this to Wayne in October, Stantons in November, or ship at your expense. I have no way of knowing what shipping will cost until it's boxed up, though it's not a particularly large or heavy machine. Also open to trades for an Edison GEM or a Victor P.

This will only play the standard discs right? I do have a GEM model A, I wouldn't mind trading it for something. Do you have any other machines you're looking to part with?

Correct, it will only play standard discs, either 7" or 10". They are fairly easy to find on eBay, at shows, antique shops, etc.

I will send you a PM regarding the GEM. I already have a model A, so my interest would depend on a few things.
