The quietness was due to the massive (in size and weight) of the now frozen pot metal tone arm and sound box(es) blocking any motor noise from escaping;-) Plus, in the 1800's, they knew how to make things run quietly.
Seriously, they were pretty good motors, some nice cabinets too.

Wow, and with all those records from the 1800s too!! You better snap it up!

Every Brunswick I've come across has had an extremely quite and smooth running motor. Anyone know what their secret was? A special grease formulation?

Here's a Brunswick console from probably the 19 20's that is worth looking into......?
