The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

What the H*** is this? China? It is being sold at auction next week about 50 miles from here. This is only photo provided.

It looks like a reproduction to me...

Definitely repro

Ya that is what I figured. Worth a shot to find out. Anyone else use auctionzip.com to look for auctions? What is nice about it you can set it to search within a distance from you and it looks up all key words for you.

It looks to be a made in India repro. Not worth having unless you just want it for decoration. Generally they are very poor quality.

Clay

Not worth the gasolinte to drive 50 miles to get it imho...

Junk

Indian Crapophone. There must be millions of them. My wife bought one at a flea market for $20. Even the reproducer was a fake.

It's an "Al-1202"

I think I understand the coding behind the model no, "Al-12-02" "AL" short for a load of crap, and "12-02" denotes manufacture in February of this year.
