The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Greetings. I picked this up at a flea market years ago, and it has always baffled me. It has Zonophone elements (and a Zonophone model name, though the case does not look like others of that model I have seen pictured), but a Victor horn, elbow and reproducer. Does this strike you as something a collector/hobbyist cobbled together much more recently?

The extension arm looks like Victor as well. Most likely, a collector decades ago couldn't find a correct front mount assembly, so they bolted another one on...

An “Uncle Bubba” Fix as Dyslexic Genius Hurt calls it!

Thanks, Bill. It has also been pointed out to me that new holes were probably drilled into the cabinet for the support arm.
