The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Only $97.50... https://www.ebay.com/itm/ALBUM-COVER-GR ... 1195.m1851

As many have said, condition is everything and this one looks like it was in a literal fire sale.

I wouldn't want it if someone gave it to me...

It’s stuff in this condition always have these “bargains” (maybe it’s the searchlight horn?)

Price is crazy, but that horn is in stunning condition! Wonder if that's new plating?

I agree the horn is amazing. And part of the reason why they want so much for a Standard D in less than stellar cosmetic condition. That thing looks like it’s screaming for a new bearing! And I wonder how long the record has been on the mandrel. My model E Standard still has marks from the record being stuck on for so long.
