The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Rough, but I know a guy who could make that cabinet shine like a new penny. When will you see another?

Wow! Not only is the 10-51 rare, but the coin-op version is even rarer! Unfortunately, the amplifier and speaker appear to have been replaced with a later set.
I would love to have that one to restore!

Originally, this unit would've had the horn from the 10-50 coupled to a horn driver. The horn could be found though. I can't tell if that's a later amplifier or not.

Wow!

Kindly request folks, pictures in the thread please (not just posting the link) as per forum rules. Otherwise nobody will be able to see it in future.

Missing AP-997 amplifier AND the driver. Good Luck!!!!

What amplifier is with it? Judging by the globe tubes I'd guess it's on the older side.

Sold for $870 + 10% buyers premium. Highest hammer price out of the 819 lots in that auction.

The early production 10-51s used the AP997 amplifier. This is a late production 10-51 it does have the correct amplifier. The 997 amp tube lineup was UX199, 2 UX216B and, UX210 the late amp used 2 UX281, UX226, and UX250.

A few pages from the 10-51 Owners Booklet featuring the early amplifier.
