Columbia viva-tonal

Post by arturo »

I have owned this machine, #650, for years, but never could find out when it first came out and what it cost and when production ended. It is mahogany. Does anyone have the proper knobs for the two lower doors?

I don't have knobs but I have a tone arm with nice nickel if you need one. PM if so.

It has wooden knobs as pictured. The one I have is missing the upper knob but I just went and got a stylish metal knob for now..

Baumbach's "Columbia Phonograph Companian Vo. 2" says it was introduced in 1926 at a cost of $150.
