[Phono-L] Machines for Sale, offering to list first
Hi - Got lucky recently on finding a machine I'd sought for years, but some other stuff needs to go to make space and to help pay for it. I plan to list these items on eBay this evening, but catch me before then and maybe we can avoid that and get you a better deal at the same time. Everything is located in the SF Bay Area. 1. Columbia BC 20th Century graphophone - this is the 65 lb big daddy with 6-spring motor, huge ornate oak case, 6 long mandrel, and 4 diameter diaphragm Higham mechanically-amplifying reproducer from 1905. Rare as hens teeth, especially with the reproducer in working order. Has original aluminum witch's hat horn that fits the wide throat of the reproducer. These simply do not turn up. 2. Amberola III, in mahogany case and with maroon bed plate. Clean and working perfectly, but to be sold without a reproducer. Case and horn and grill in very good shape, but the shelf underneath has been cleanly removed. We'll never know why, but I have a perfect pattern from which a replacement shelf can be made, as well as a line on an Edison A-150 which could receive the horn and other innards instead. Mech has the cylinder stop index rod which is so often missing, good paint and pinstriping. An economical way to get into the top of the line Edison cylinder mechanism. 3. Victor VTLA. s/n 4114. Quite nice and all original. Red mahogany finish is still glossy outside and in, although there are few scuffs. No record boxes. Great plating and pinstriping under the hood and has its original reproducer, special needle cup and the often missing unique crank escutcheon. This machine uses the motor of the Victor VI. An excellent chance at a super early machine. 4. Amberola 75 in mahogany. Nice starter machine with iffy cosmetics. Has the early two-setscrew carriage and brass body nickel plated diamond B reproducer rather than the commonly found black pot metal version. It's been stripped and lightened in color and has some veneer flaws. Complete except for the easily constructed slide out shelves. A cheap way to get a machine with built-in cylinder storage. 4. Theodore Roosevelt campaign speeches on blue amberol. Enquire on titles. Pictures upon request, and prices TBD. Let's talk. -- Peter pjfra...@mac.com ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

I am interested in the 20th Century, if it can be shipped to NY. Also the Roosevelt cylinders.

Re: [Phono-L] Machines for Sale, offering to list first
I made a typo and missed it - sorry- the diamond C (not B) came on the Amberola 30, 50, and 75. And it turns out the tops are all pot metal. For about the first two years the Diamond C has the brass sound tube soldered into the pot metal body. The ones with the black top and weight came later, and in my experience are a lot less stable (and far less goodlooking) than the earlier ones.
