Hi Jeff, I hope this email is not too late to help you. I've been out of town for a few days. I have a respectable collection of toy machines that includes about 12 phonographs. In my opinion 200.00 would be about the most I'd give for the Genola, if it is in nice condition. Here is a link to auction results for a toy auction. See item 121. These little phonographs are a nice cross collectable. My wife likes to display them with her doll collection. I think that little record album is standard with these machines. All the pictures I've found of the Genola show the album with it. I am sure that Merle S. will agree that the little records are a fun collectable too. http://www.joyluke.com/apps/version5/catalog/displaysaleresults.cfm?auction=MAR2604 ----- Original Message ----- From: Jeff Walton To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2004 11:20 AM Subject: [Phono-L] Genola Phono
There is an antique store near me that is going out of business. They had a genola phonograph for sale. It was in good shape and had about three records with it. They had it for 350.00. Question, is this a good price? Is this a hard to find item? I have search through my books and on the internet but have no found any information. Can you help me out?

Its coin operated, for public amusement. As the record plays the horn & tone arm revolve around the record. Probably to ensure the room was equally sprayed with music. Unfortunately the one pictured is not complete Regards Robert http://www.romfi.com/category.cfm?Category=4%21A%5D%23X%3C8DPWX%2CRL0%2A%3A%5E4%28%5E1RBK%20%29%2E%0A&CFID=2026&CFTOKEN=68050219 _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
