Does anyone know when the Concert V gave way to the later style
(similar to the Victor Exhibition) reproducer with the red lettering?
I would love to be able to narrow down the likely date of production
of my Grand Opera, which has the later type of reproducer (although
the cabinet is purely traditional Zonophone style with the embossed
metal top plate, S-shaped crank, Zonophone type motor, etc).
I have provenance on this machine back to the early '30s, and it's
known that this late style reproducer was on the machine then, so it's
likely that it's been with it since new or nearly new.
Thanks in advance for any insight whatsoever, even if it's a rough
estimate of that time frame.

John,
You are correct! I have seen these pictures before! If you had not
found
this, you can easily tell that the horn is not polished in the added
pictures. Also, the reproducer is the later Exhibition style Zonophone
red faced reproducer, not the Concert-V that is in the original
picture.
The original picture looks like one of "firebottles" zonophone auction
pictures?
So..., who is the expert at reporting fraud to ebay? How does one do
this. There are already 3 bidders?
Thanks,
