The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Fellow Forum Members

Here's another one of those fall projects that you can tackle while waiting for the pandemic to pass. It is a Columbia AT Serial No. 270745 and is available for your consideration. It needs plenty of TLC as further described:

The Good:

• 100% complete motor and top works...runs strong with good spring and governor
  Trunion moves left and right and up and down but is sticky and snug/tight. Needs to be taken apart and worked over. But it will come apart.
  Very nice back decal
  Nice bedplate nickel plating
  Decent lid with solid veneer and trim
  All of the case hardware is present

The So So:

• Upper works pinstriping and decals are a little frayed
  Motor runs fine but will need basic servicing (cleaning and lubing)
  Scratches on the front decal
  Missing one wood corner column (plus one is loose from the case)
  No reproducer
  No crank
  No horn
  Needs new belt

The Bad:

• Nothing really, just needs lot's of Forum member love

Please PM me for additional photos and any questions.

Asking $175 plus actual cost of shipping right to your door from zip code 94954 (I think one box will work for this one). Payment by Paypal Friends and Family.
