The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi Can anyone help . I am seeking a copy of the BC Instructions pasted on the inside of the front pull down lid. If possible an image suitable for me to copy and paste to the lid.
Thanks Brian

I too would like a good photo of the instruction sheet inside the front cover of the BC.
Please .

No replies to my help request Blain, but hope someone will be able to copy the instructions for us.

Is this what you are looking for?

I no longer own this machine, but found this picture in my files.

Cheers, Bob S.

Hello, please see attachment for BC Instructions. If it doesn't work, send me your email. Thanks, Lee

Also, I have an actual label of a "BC" Graphophone on the inside of the front panel. It is protected by a plastic plate. But...it is not 100% complete. Maybe 80%+-. I would be glad to take a picture of it and post it in order to give you a general idea of how to possibly reconfigure the data I have listed. Maybe you could reconfigure a front info plate. Many kind regards, Lee

More BC Info, Lee

Thanks Lee,
That helps a lot. I have been thinking about the instruction to place the stylus on the cylinder and then start the machine. Maybe this would be a good idea instead of getting the mandrel up to speed and then dropping the stylus unto the cylinder, which is what I normally do. Maybe I have been doing it wrong all these years.

If possible, I would like a good reproducible copy of the instruction on the inside of the front cover.

Thanks again

Hello all, made another attempt. I took the protective plate off of the drop-down door on the BC Graphophone. I tried to take a better photo. I don't have a real camera. Maybe someone can properly crop this photo. The label is in poor shape at best. This is about all I can do. Best, Lee

Thank you Lee,
I tried a little photo editing and it is almost legible. I think we would need a better resolution picture.
The instruction book is amazing. Thanks again.
