A very nice Columbia floating recorder. Appropriate for many Columbia Graphophones. Complete with sharp cutting stylus. "As Found" but looks perfect!

Check out the hand etching on the main body. It says "High Trunion" (sic). I am not sure when the "High Trunnion" designation was first used, in the period or not... But this came out of an estate, and the family had various phonograph in the period. This and a few other parts were all that remained. I believe the etching has always been on the recorder, and not added recently, but I can't prove otherwise.

This would make an excellent pairing with you Columbia AT "High Trunnion"!

First one to say "SOLD" here gets it. Shipping is available at cost, or free delivery to the Wayne show in two weeks.

Wow, the high-trunnion Columbia AT is not that common of a machine. To find a recorder for one is amazing! Thanks for offering this. If anyone has one of these machines. YOU NEED TO BUY THIS!!

I don't think this recorder is specific for a High Trunnion machine. There is no need for the lift fingers on the recorder body as the lift finger mechanism on the A type machines is part of the swivel ball joint.

That recorder would have been used on any of the machines that used the "T" style lift arm.
