The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Nice Columbia BS coin-op machine for sale. Great little machine that has been with us for many decades now. Really the one that pretty much started it all, screwed on to many store counters and bar tops way back when. Asking $2800 and we will be glad to send video of it working , and more pics and details , questions gladly answered to someone that may be seriously interested in taking over ownership. An email to [email protected] is the only way to reach me in Norwalk, Ohio 44857. PLEASE NO PMs or questions here, as I likely will not see them. Located only minutes from Edison’s birthplace. We are glad to take payments and will work with someone that would like this little beauty. Any questions, I’m an email away. Years of experience packing delicate items like this for safe shipping. Thanks, Tim Morsher , Norwalk, Ohio

If someone was looking to hand me 3k for something I was selling, I’d check all avenues of communication possible.
What an ass!

To bad he’ll never see this!!

Why, what would he be missing by not seeing your comment? Not much...

I for one do not accept PM’s for several reasons. First, I want to know who I’m dealing with, not somebody who’s hiding behind a stage name. Secondly, accessing PM’s on my phone is cumbersome and difficult for a Luddite such as myself.

This is supposed to be a friendly forum and calling somebody an ass for stating how to best get in touch with him is uncalled for.

I totally agree. He asked very nicely not to PM simply because he might not see it and provided his email instead...what more can anyone ask for? And exactly how does that make someone an ass? No need to answer...don't want it.

Bump to the top, still available. This is a nice machine, but wifey says I don’t need 3 of them! [email protected] to discuss, glad to take payments to make it happen. Thanks! Tim, in Norwalk, Ohio

Thanks for allowing me to post. I’m happy to say the nice little BS is going to a good home. I’m also happy that the rude post above from columbia1spring is the exception rather than the rule. There really is no need for that attitude , and I appreciate the nice follow ups.
Yesterday , we buried a great local friend that was a well known collector and craftsman AND human being. I’m glad to say every phono collector I’ve personally crossed paths with in my 66 year lifetime has been a pleasant experience.

I am glad you found a new home for the Columbia BS. They are a great little coin-op. And yes, we did loose another icon in this great hobby. Don will be truly missed.
