Beware !! This machine has been altered. This is a CAROLA, advertised in Talking Machine World in October of 1916, The tone arm and reproducer has been changed out, it is suppose to have a "Violin Fibre" tone arm (Not Metal), and the reproducer is all wrong as well. Also, something has been done to the outside of the machine as well. It is shown and advertised with a dark mahogany finish !! So this one is all wrong. One sold a couple of years ago on ebay and it did not have a motor !! I noticed it, but the seller refused to change his description even though I gave him a heads up. Some poor fool bought it anyway. It is not advertised as a children's phonograph, the ad shows two ladies relaxing in the living room listening to it. the size was 11" by 13" by 22", 31" high in playing position and weighs 11 lbs. Hope this helps.

Hello all There is a phonograph I am considering buying for resale, ostensibly a children's phonograph that looks liks a small victrola. It is made of woodgrained metal and is nice looking. Can anyone give me an idea of value? I know some small phonographs weren't actually children's phonographs, and I am interested in the history of this one.
