The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Will pay a fair price, for one in decent condition, with nice striping on bedplate. Cheers Markie

I believe I noticed one in the upcoming Stanton auction listing. It may be the tone arm style, BOT??

The BO model (and BQ) were only released as tone arm models so the "T" that refers to "Tone arm" in other Columbia models (BKT, BFT, etc.) was omitted for these models. The BO is a difficult to find model made for a relatively short period in 1908.

The only catalog image of this short-lived machine (which as FellowCollector said, always had a tonearm).

Thanks, (to Doug as well), for that info! Always something to learn on the TMF!
