Is this one a crapophone?

[antique1973]

On first sight it appears to be a crapophone but the horn elbow curve is smooth
and the case is not the usual phony style with the fake Nipper, etc. Any input
would be appreciated.

Yeh. Look at the angle of the reproducer.

That's the kind of stuff that crapo dealers rely on. That one wouldn't notice it.

The Crapo-makers are getting trickier. I recently saw (in a gramophone dealer's shop in an antique center, no less) a G&T Crapophone. It had me for a second - they are starting to use old horns and real reproducers. But it's that angle on the winding handle that gives it away. I will start photographing them from now on when I see them and post them on my thread, "Ugliest Crap-o-phone Ever".

I think the horn and elbow are recycled from a "Guild Grafonola" speaker.

I'd call that one a "phonygraph"

On first sight it appears to be a crapophone but..

It's the product of too much Doxidan. Pretty easy to spot the non-Victor features.
