Viva Tonal and Grafonola portables

Thanks for sharing those. I have never actually seen a Columbia Grafonola portable, I only saw it announced in the Music Trade Review of March 1923.

Seems it was only made for a very short period in 1923 before Columbia went bankrupt. Would you mind sharing some close-up pictures of the machine and it's motor? From my point of view it would qualify as a featured phonograph, being the first Columbia portable and since it was so short lived. I any case, I would really be interested in any additional information you might be willing to share.
Thanks
