The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Anyone have info on this machine I purchased a few years back? Plays nice, has double spring motor, unfortunately with the little horn and condition of the reproducer gasket the sound quality leaves a lot to be desired....
I am curious as to the little rod that supports the trumpet horn would like to compare it with another machine. Thanks Bill K.

The one I have is exactly the same

Hey thanks. We now know there are at least 2 of these machines... I was going to try to rebuild the reproducer but I think I'll let well enough alone. Thanks again and have a good one. Bill K.

According to an article in "The Victrola and 78 Journal" -- the Trumpetone was marketed in 1923 -- https://archive.org/stream/V78J12/V78J% ... trumpetone

I searched the 1923 issues and came up with this ad:

Hope this helps.

I have two of them with the same support.

Thanks rizbone. I notice there is on on Ebay for parts - missing the trumpet of course. Have a good weekend. Bill K
