I would have to disagree with your preference on this.  I think machines
should be sold at auction as complete as possible, and that includes
original horns and reproducers.  If the original horn is not available, then
another of the same type as originally used should be included.  Of course
they may bring more money this way, but the seller, who has preserved it in
the complete state, is entitled to a fair market value.  Nothing irritates
me more than to see a phono sold without a reproducer, for example, and then
to see the reproducer sold separately later.  Actually, such a procedure may
bring in more money to the auctioneer than selling the machine intact.  The
auctioneer has the obligation to match up machines, reproducers, cranks, and
horns, using an expert to help them if necessary.  That's just my opinion.
