The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I recently bought a couple of boxes of phonograph parts, nothing particularly great, several soundboxes, Exhibitions for the most part, along with some other U.S. made products. The box included the two pictured here, one of which was made in Germany. The other has no markings but is rather unusual if not rather inexpensive looking. It still has some residual tape on it. Could be American, given how it's attached to the tonearm.

I suspect both are generic. I've done a preliminary web search under "phonograph" and "gramophone" sound boxes, also "magnet" type, to no avail, and so now turn to my European colleagues for help. I'll hazard a guess that both date from the Twenties.

Hi, the reproducer with the two side pegs may be from a railroad train set. I had one like it several years ago.

There is currently one for sale on Ebay - American Flyer Talking Station Sound Reproducer X9163 - [ebay]Item#27038872114[/ebay].

And another - American Flyer 755-100 S Reproducer for Record in Talking Station - [ebay]Item #296974674816[/ebay]

Not mine.
