The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Yes well more than slightly deluded over the prices. Well at least I think so.

That leather case with the Mikiphone isn't even an original one. At that rate my Mikiphone must be worth £6000 as it has a genuine original leather case, instruction booklet, needle tin (though the Ebay example also has both or a reproduction of the former?) and packing box.

This one really takes the cake, seriously:

It takes the cake or the biscuit because I dropped mine when I saw this junk. I would bin it or use it in a wood burner.
