The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Someone here has gotta go for this- Wow!!

I remember someone posting something like this 1-2 year ago on the old forum, doesn't appeal to me but still pretty cute...

I wish it was in my part of the world, although I'd imagine there's a pretty high reserve on it.
It would go well with a couple music boxes I've got.

Hey Phonophan,

I think you are referring to these pics I posted on the old site:





Guido in the Netherlands was selling this.

A Schwartzwalder Phono to play while you serve Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte ...or Black Forest cake.
I wonder what what other Black Forest goodies are lurking in the woods.

I'm curious about the tonearm fitted to the one for sale on eBay. The style -- exponential swan-neck -- would indicate that it's post-1925/26. Also, I noticed it seems to have more of a chrome plate appearance than the other components--brake, turntable, etc. Could it be a replacement?

I was wondering about that myself.
The rest of the running gear is Paillard, but the tonearm looks more like a Thorens or even Electrola arm.

More interesting to me is that the two cases are similar, yet very different. How many styles of these were made?

Germanic Kitsch - can you top it? Would be wonderful in a room full of cuckoo clocks.
If anyone buys this I have a fine record for it- a Vic scroll label, selections from "The Girl from the Black Forest" complete with trilling soprano.
