Organizing a rescue for a 1922 Brunswick?

Post by VanEpsFan1914 »

Hello, if there are any collectors near the Dallas area please let me know. I am trying to rescue my 1922 Brunswick York...this has been a mess but I need to get it out of that basement. It was left behind in a move and a friend of mine has been keeping it safe for me (that's how you know you have real friends.) Anyway, he is graduating and has no car, and in the interest of keeping the Brunnie off the burn pile I was curious if there is any way the Underground Railroad of phonographs could help move an admittedly valueless machine from Dallas to South Carolina.

Or if anyone wants it badly enough and there is no way to get it to South Carolina, I'd like to see it either come back to me or go to someone else who will enjoy it (and not part it out for junk) It's almost restored all the way, just needs reproducer gaskets & a pair of mainsprings. The Ultona is in great shape.

Wow I’m really sorry I keep forgetting to send the measurements of the cabinet. I don’t know why I keep forgetting :oops: :roll:

I’ll try soon

Thanks, David!

I'm sure this is a very irresponsible idea (as the current collector's market makes a 1922 Brunswick console nearly impossible to sell) but I want to see it last to its 100th year, not go out on the burn pit in a few months.
