I'd buy the machine for the reproducer. It is an original HMV No. 5 or 5A. It's hard to tell by the photos. Harvey Kravitz

Someone sent me a hornless crapophone that I am altering to make it play better. Buy it. I'll give you $15 plus shipping for the horn.

Its a steal at that price! :) It would be worth paying the 99 cents just to take it and smash it to bits.

It burned me so much that I had to write to the seller with some education. Not accusatory, just informative. I know it's useless, but I couldn't help it...If this phonograph is from their own collection as they say, they must have a bunch of crap.
