The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I bought this phonograph over 30 years ago in Manchester NY. There is no winding key, horn or reproducer but Ron Sitko has all of these for reasonable prices if you don't already have them in your spare parts boxes. The motor winds up and works great with plenty of power. Everything functions exactly as it should on this Busy Bee including the governor and carriage which travels perfectly from end to end when engaged with the feed screw.

In every practical sense, this is a working Columbia Q with a slightly larger diameter mandrel. PM with interest, add USPS shipping (should be pretty inexpensive), packed securely, shipped promptly after payment. Paypal Friends payment preferred.

Thanks.

A decent original and nice running phonograph for the price.
