[Phono-L] Question about a Columbia Graphophone model I have never seen or heard of....
Hello all, Can any one give me some insight into the Columbia Disc Graphophone BWT? I have not been able to find any info on this model and if it is a correct model to even beging with. I know that Columbia parted some machines together but this I have never heard of before. Any help would be most welcomed, Kenneth Keeton ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

The Columbia BWT is a disc machine that uses a Talkophone Brooke case. After the lawsuits between Columbia and Talkophone, Columbia bought out Talkophone as a settlement.

The screw in question is an ordinary set screw with a slotted head. You can get this screw at any well stocked hardware store. I had the same problem with my Edison Standard Model B. It was missing the set screw that held the 2/4 min. attachment to it. A 5-40 thread is very common in a well stocked store.

Re: [Phono-L] Looking for a screw for a BK....
The main problem with finding set screws, is not the 5-40 thread, it is the slot, as opposed to a socket head. I have a local fastener company that stocks a bazillion screws of all types and shapes and has plenty of stock, but slotted are real hard to find, unless they are new old stock. Collectors of antique machinery of all types have bought up all of the available stock of slotted screws. I recently searched for any size slotted set screws for my restoration of a Fairy Phono Lamp - no luck - not that they might be out there somewhere, just not commonly available any more.

Basically, if it's cheap and in good, complete working condition (reproducer, crank, horn and all obvious parts), go for it... If it's more than $4-500, then check it out, as far as value. If it's missing parts, then it might be hard or impossible to find replacements.

Re: [Phono-L] Question about a Columbia Graphophone model I have never seen or heard of....
Hi Ken, When the economy was good, they were worth about $1000.00 - $1200.00. With the bad economy, It shouldn't sell for more than $700.00. If you can get it for less than $700.00, then go for it. It would be worth more depending on the condition. Good luck with it.

If you could provide some insight in the value of something like that. Any insight in the value you could help me with would be just great. I will wait on your reply. Take care until I hear from you about the BWT Disc Graphophone.

Re: [Phono-L] Question about a Columbia Graphophone model I have never seen or heard of....
Ken, personally I wouldn't buy it. Not because its not a nice machine, but if I'm going to spend $1,300 on one I am going to get something that I like better. I am not a big fan of the oddball Columbia disc machines, mainly because parts are not easy to find if something needs repair. Columbia springs are difficult to replace and I'm not crazy about the styling. I like the Columbia cylinder machines without the pot metal. However, everyone has their favorites. I, personally like front mount Victors or small rear mount Victors... or for that matter Pathe machines. As you can see, this boils down to personal preferences...
