The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I thought this was interesting.

A Beltona Soundbox I think.

I haven't seen one before and always wondered if the image of the girl on this and the records was of someone who really existed.

Once again, I would love to buy this - but I don't 'do' ebay.

A generic soundbox which Beltona and others could buy from trade suppliers and adorn with their own logo. I had one badged as a Dulcetto.

I don't know the origin of the Beltona trade mark, but the answer might well be in here :

Very interesting. Thank you epigramophone.

Wow, £ 480 !

I should have bought the first one !

EMG's are just so passe these days !

The seller will not be trampled in the rush to purchase. The early signs of metal fatigue are evident, so I think £10 would be an appropriate starting price.
