The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I received this text today...

All I know is that it is large.... heavy.... carved.... complete and working, and............ FREE

Any guesses on this phonograph?

I have no idea, but at that price, get it!

My guess;
Hmv 163
Some Sonora floor model
on you're wildest dream, a Gothic Victrola

Or a Gothic Grafonola

In my mind's eye I envision something akin to a cuckcoo clock.

Sorry, my crystal ball is on the fritz.... maybe it's one of these.. .

Haha,
I am so excited but I have a bad feeling about the weather getting to it or having gotten to it already since it has been raining for 3 days.

The Gothic scares me, lol...

Sneak peak!

Here it is folks, 5 hours of work but it is looking goooood!
Reproducer says Savoy fonograph. It’s got a desk built in too... How cool is that. I have the original key and found a statue in the lower area stuck in back. There was also a very old fountain pen, records, and a glass dish. I need to find room for this one... I also need some type of reference to make a new front panel with the grill.

The first picture is the message I received from a guy I bought from over 2 years ago. Then it was all down hill, lol

That is very nice!
