The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I spotted this a few days ago on the San Francisco Craigslist site.

I don't know if the price is reasonable or not but thought I'd post it for anyone interested.

I'd say that's a very nice find. Wrong reproducer, but not such a big deal.

Before it disappears. Zonophone at $700.

marked down to $400

The American market has tanked far worse than the British market. The Europeans still have it!

There are reasons for this.

Steve is right, the US market is starting to swell up unfourtanently, EU gramophone market seems to be increasing steadily. Over here, I haven't really explored what it looks like but I'm hoping to find some Far Eastern 78's.

You haven't noticed all the layoffs, chaos, and slumping markets? People in the USA are damn nervous right now.

Ah. I don't pay too much attention to those things, sorry.
