FORE SALE: Beautiful Original Condition Columbia BGT Graphophone Phonograph - See it Play!

This BGT Graphophone is in gorgeous original condition. The nickel plating is original clean and bright. The original mahogany cabinet finish is excellent with a beautiful, original decal. Even the belt is original. This phonograph does come with the lid and has its original finish. There are no reproduction parts and is very much a collector quality machine.

This Graphophone also has the very rare 2 & 4 minute gearing and special lyric reproducer so it can play both 2 and 4 minute indestructible cylinder and other celluloid records without changing reproducers. It plays and sounds great!!

This phonograph has the rare Columbia mahogany speartip horn upgrade and is original and beautiful. The horn and cabinet color match perfectly. The horn may have been refinished as there is no crazing, but if it was, it was beautifully done. The only blemish to the horn is a slight indentation shown in one of the photos.

It will be hard to find one in nicer condition.

I prefer not to ship this phonograph. I can deliver for free to the June Midwest APS music show in Schaumburg, IL or it can be picked up in Wisconsin or perhaps other arrangements can be made.

Prices is $4300.

Thank you for looking

still plenty of time before the show if interested. Pictures do not do this phonograph justice.

I could get it back to the West Coast from the Midwest Expo if that helps. I'll be attending the Expo in Buena Park in August and could get it there.

With the mid-west show just around the corner, I thought I would check to see if anyone is interested in this phonograph. Please feel free to contact me and perhaps we can work something out.

Thank you.
