I imagine one would have to make a motor-board from scratch to properly fit this cabinet.
That leaves me out. I had trouble making Popsicle stick ashtrays in summer camp..........

But obviously that didn't happen. I would still be much more aggressive bidding on this very rare piece were it not for the fact that I already have an original Hardy, in better condition, and I don't need bookends! So I'm out of the picture on this one now, it is going to end up going to another lucky collector. It's an incredibly significant machine, the first model phonograph ever sold, verifiably datable to spring/summer 1878 (see my article in the Sept. 2005 "Sound Box" for the full story). They don't come any earlier, outside of the Kruesi prototype and the Brady model which are only in museums. It's certainly one of the rarest phonographs ever to appear on eBay. As for where it will end up, it's anyone's guess. My own feeling is that it should be a $30K phonograph in its present condition. Best regards, Rene Rondeau
