The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just acquired an Operaphone project machine, or at least I hope I can make a project of it. As you can see the previous owner thought it would be better as a liquor cabinet and I wish to return it to a functioning gramophone.
The cabinet is in very decent shape but all of it's innards, including the horn, have been removed.

Does anyone have a similar Operaphone which they can share some photos of it, including the motor and horn assembly? If not does anyone know of a collector out there who may own one or have the specs to assist with this project.

Thank you

Bruce

The bastards who do that should have their knaggers cut off !!!

Could be worse: it might have been covered in flat grey paint and scrubbed with steel wool before browning with wax to age it. Those pesky "Shabby Chicers" are everywhere you look.
