Hello to all.
I was hoping someone on this list is familiar with record cabinets made by the
Talking Machine Company from Chicago. I just purchased one that reads "The
Cabinets That Match" It is a nice tiger striped oak model with one shelf
inside it. The top is 16" wide by 16 and 7/8" deep. The cabinet is 34" tall.
My question to this group is, What does the surrounding moulding that goes
around the machine look like. This one doesn't have the correct moulding on it
and there are extra nail holes where the original moulding was. If anyone has
one or literature on one I would greatly appreciate knowing what it is supposed
to look like. Also, what machine would be correct for this size cabinet?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I'm restoring a couple of Columbia Grafonolas, a table model and a
console. Both of them have broken pot metal elbows. Over the years, these
elbows swell at the joints. People try to force them and wind up breaking
the elbow. If you have a Columbia with a swolen elbow joint, the correct
way to fis it is to lubricate it well with penetrating oil and jently free
it up enough to disassemble it. Then ream out the female section enough so
that the joint moves freely. I believe these elbows came in different
sizes. The table models used the smaller size and the consoles used the
larger size. If anyone has more specific information about these elbows ie.
more than two sizes please let the list know. If anyone has any spare
elbows that they would like to sell, please contact me privatly.
