The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

A friend called me over to help her get rid of this... (But I don't even know what model it is! Couldn't find the name plate. The only thing I recognize is the Ultona [with an intact Pathé stylus!])

Any help identifying this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jan,

Thank you, so much! (I did search and search. Don't know how I missed that post!)

I'm guessing, given that post as others and the fact that this machine has no tag/plate and is even simpler in style that any shown in that post and has a wooden motor board, that this machine is an early 117.

Michael, On page 189 of Wakeman's book on Brunswick there are 2 machines shown The grill on the style 212 is the same as your machine but your machine looks more like the other machine on that page which is the style 210. I'll see if I can post a link.

Is it me or does yours seem to have a bit more of and extended bottom foot than the two straight sided ones in the catalog? It may just be the way they are drawn.

It is indeed Style 212 -
The catalog image is a rendering. Also the caster helps make it look a bit longer in proportion.

The model 212 looks like it has a more ornate curved bottom apron below the record compartment than the op's machine? That part looks more like the model 210.
