The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I picked up an almost perfect Model A 'Triumph' locally today here in Florida. It is among the nicest machines I''ve found with the pinstriping and lettering about 98% perfect, and the overall machine a conservative 90% as found. You could eat off the top mech it is so clean. Has it's original recorder and 14" black & brass horn. I don't have any cylinders to play on it with me and it's just begging to be played! I bought a banner-front 'Standard' over the weekend with a H&S horn and three dozen two-minute wax cylinders but I stashed them at a friend's house in Miami for safekeeping until I am ready to head home, and they are over 100 miles away now!

The only Internet I have at the moment is my iPhone. I'll try to paste a photo in here and see if it works. If not, I'll go to the library tomorrow and update this post.

Congratulations on the Triumph. I love the banner decal machines and yours sounds like a prize. Jerry

Thanks Jerry! Sorry about the tease -- I'll get some photos up later this morning.

Sorry John, I had to show them! It really is a top end Triumph and these pictures need to be shared!











Great machine John. Thanks for sharing!

can they please be uploaded directly to the forum? otherwise, filtering software can prevent them from being seen.

Sorry about that Brian. Here they are.

Thanks Sonny! I'm at the library now getting ready to upload them and I see you've done it for me! Great! I'll add just a couple more.

Jealous! Congrats!

thanks for resposting the photos directly.

and that's a beautiful machine. I've got the same in similar condition, although it's 2/4 minute. is this one only 2 minute? I'll post a couple shots of mine later in case you're interested.

Yes, 2-minute only just as it was made. Mica Model C reproducer. I'd love to see yours!
