The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

A beautiful machine, the cabinet is in beautiful original shape with a brilliant decal, all original cabinet finish, the only issue being a wood splinter from the corner on the back side of the machine, the cast iron upper works have been restored with Gregg Cline decals, the trunnion is now an original brass one, no pot metal worries on this machine.

The reproducer has been rebuilt with a new glass diaphragm, the stylus is in very good condition

The motor has been lubricated and runs very smoothly and steady, the springs are powerful and will make it through a couple of cylinders before needing re-wound, can be seen playing

Collection is obviously preferred but I realise that is rarely practical as I seem to be in a bit of a 'no mans land' for collectors, So I can pack and ship it, it will be shipped at cost with a courier but I would appreciate some money towards packing materials too as money's a little tight currently

I am asking £600 gbp, this is how much I have in the machine after the restoration, on'y selling because I've ended up with more cylinder machines than I need and I need the money for other things.

Attached is a video of the machine in action

Any Questions feel free to ask

What is the S/N ?

It's really a nice looking machine, rare to find them with a nice front decal and not all froze up. Good luck with your sale!

that'd be 232881

May consider offers too

I'd be interested in a part exchange for a Cygnet horn and back bracket, reproduction or any condition is fine
