The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I have more projects than I can finish before Union so I thought I'd offer this to someone that likes a project. It's a Model B Fireside. The finish needs to be cleaned but should be good. The paint and striping should also clean up nicely. I have done nothing with this machine except to give the crank a few turns and the motor seems OK. The handle on the lid is a bit funky and one of the forked pieces to hold the lid is missing one tab. The reproducer is untested. It should clean up to be a nice machine. I took lots of photos but feel free to ask questions by PM. The price is $285 and my preference is to deliver to Union or APS at no cost. I would also mail at the cost of a new carton and actual postage. Please don't ask for cost from your zip code but please add another $85. I'll return the difference and include any receipts. Friended PayPal or your check is fine.

Thanks, Jerry Blais

Man I wish you were closer! I have always wanted a cygnet machine!

I can get it all the way to Union (Chicago) and a friend from Tennessee will be at Union so it's possible. Jerry

Stop dangling that carrot! hahaha!

Let me see what I can pull.

Hello,
Im sorry if this is a silly question but is there anything missing from the machine?
I see the bolt holes for the arm? for the horn hookup?
EDIT** looked it up... I see what it needs now...**
I would like it shipped to NY 11754 if you feel ok boxing it. I am not sure if it has been claimed but I am interested.

ADDED* Does it play 4 minute or 2?

I cannot get my ducks in a row that fast. I will try to jump on the chair next go around. If you find any more gems Jerry let me know.

Please take your time.
You got dibs until you work it out.

A Firrside B is a 4-min player. There are threads describing how to make a B into a 2&4 player. The Diamond B will always be a 4-min indestructible reproducer. Hope this helps. Jerry
