The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi, looking for a 4 min reproducer for a model 102 hexaphone. Thanks

Shouldn't this be in the yankee trader section?
What is it with these people who always put their wanted ads in the main section of forums

Well the forum doesn't have any moderation, so...

Hey, it's the guy's first post! Perhaps some slack should be cut!

Perhaps, but it always seems strange that the parts or machines are high end, which makes me wonder if it's ignorance, or a feeling of superiority because their "wants" are more important than anyone elses.

If it said "need new needle for grandmas record player", sure... but hard to play "innocent new guy" when you're looking for something as specific as a "4 min reproducer for a model 102 hexaphone".

Maybe because this section gets more attention than the Yankee Trader section like approximately 14,000 more postings.

By the way...what would the value be of a reproducer for a model 102 Hexaphone? What would a good condition Hexaphone go for these days? Any ideas?

Perhaps there isn't a directly relationship between collecting 19th and early 20th century mechanical music devices and knowledge of 21st century message board custom/usage?

is this not the yankee trader section?
