I spent the whole 3 days at the auction. It's hard to beat a Stanton's phono auction for your phonograph fix and talk with fellow collectors.
As usual there was something for everyone, from the common to the very rare. From pristine examples to fixer uppers. From dirt cheap to break the bank prices.
I just have some pictures of the over all setup of the auction before it started. After the auction started it was pretty much standing room only.
I did not take pictures of all the machines, or the tables and tables of parts and related items, or of the dozens and dozens of loose horns, or the many record and cylinder cabinets, or of the thousands of cylinder records.

Does anyone know what the Melba gramophone and cabinet went for?

Thanks for pics (Phonolair)!! Steve L.

Nice job on the pictures Larry!

I am pretty sure the Melba w pedestal went for $14500 before premium.

I think the hammer was 14.5K

Are all the other realized prices posted somewhere? (the Idelia?!) -Michael

Stantons will often post realized prices on their website after the auction. When it gets posted is up to them.

There was no idelia, There was a Opera the closed at $2250 before premium. It had a MM Radio horn.
