The one in the link has been listed several times with no takers but it's also not eBay and would not get the same exposure. Since we're talking about it... the Genola was made by the General Phonograph Mfg Co of Elyria OH (the auction said this too). They also made an "adult" table top phonograph called the Model E. I'm curious if anyone on the list knows anything about the Model E or could direct me to pictures or information online. I saw one that was fitted with a reproduce to play vertical records but I'm wondering if this was original. -Don

It's cute, but $350.00 sounds pretty stiff to me, unless it's in super condition. Here's an link to an auction with an image of one.
