While this isn't directly related, I happen to have a machine with the same Indiana Graphophone Co. plaque on a Columbia AS. The "N" plaque is the only other I have seen. You can see it here:

I wonder what happened to it? ------------ I have re-issued the 1897 Indiana Graphophone Co catalog (Columbia). But it does not show the Bijou model (N). It does list it at $40, and more with various accessories. Allen _www.phonobooks.com_ (http://www.phonobooks.com) **************Nothing says I love you like flowers! Find a florist near you now.

I have a Columbia AB and never realized that feature existed until I saw this AB. So I am presently looking for an original holding screw, which I wouldn't hold out much chance of finding or a good reproduction if need be. Does anyone know if there is any suppliers who make a good repro holding screw for the 5" Telescoping Mandrel for the AB?

In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Hi Gang, I had a look at the franken-phono. It really caught my attention. If this was an old conversion during the 1920's or the Depression, It is a true piece of Yankee ingenuity. It shows how frugal families were, waste not want not. I look at this piece as a true piece of folk Americana. we get so wrapped up in the perfect, mint machine, that we forget that there are some unusual machines that are one of a kind. There are some blatantly mismatched machine with hodge podge parts that look like junk. Who ever modified this machine, did it with thought. Harvey P.

The seller says it does. Bill I would bet it works just fine. Orville White, a gifted machinist collector in Portland, Oregon, once saw an ad in a local paper for an "Emerson Diamond Disk Victroler" (sic) and that gave him an idea. He used a Graphophone base, an Amberola V works, and an early radio cygnet horn to make the mutt. It played very well and was a hoot to behold the reaction of collectors when first encountering it. I don't know where it went when he passed away but someone got a real conversation piece. Best Wishes to All, Al **************Nothing says I love you like flowers! Find a florist near you now.
