Brice, I agree. Two years ago I bought an extremely nice BC from the Oliphants at Union. It came from the Jim Kenealy collection. It had the original large green flowered horn with floor crane. I paid $1200. so I think $1400. to $2000. is probably right. I have no Idea how much it will cost to restore those very complicated reproducers, or even who know how to do them right.

Loran Please post the following: I have recently come into possession to sell for another a Columbia BC. I have never owned one and do not know much about them. This machine appears to be all original , and seems to play very well which I believe is a big plus for these machines. It comes with an aluminum 14" horn that has been nicely modified by someone to fit the reproducer. The condition is not perfect and is certainly restorable if you wanted to do so, but personally, I would probably leave it as is since it is very presentable. I am not up on the market for this machine, but I believe from what I have seen in the past that his asking price is reasonable at $1400. He believes it is worth around $2000 and really wants to put it on ebay, but I convinced him to let me offer it to the list in hopes of a quick sale. I doubt that he will take less, but I will present any offers. If you want additional information or want to purchase this machine please contact me off list @ antqflea at yahoo.comor call 530 945 2221 Thanks brice _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org -- Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.
