Why would oil ruin
My guess is that this is a custom-made horn for a phonograph. It has the
hanger hook at the top of the elbow for use with a crane which is required
for the early phonos. No radio horns that I've ever seen used a crane and
hanger arrangement - they were self-supporting.

indicates that it was designed for coupling to the Victor tonearm in place
of the standard phono reproducer. I believe the ones designed for Columbia
machines were a model number something like 5C. I don't recall if there

Electrolas?
So would this type of thing appeal more to radio collectors or phonograph
collectors? (I'm both, but I don't have any 1920s sets anymore. I stick
to
the superhets these days.) Do they turn up very often? What do they
bring?

of these springs. The reproducer will sound cleaner and clearer with fewer

Neither of which is desirable.

about 4 grams or less, even with a considerably undersized stylus, there is
so little pressure on the hard condensite record material that the material
will not yield and no record wear should result.

regularly. The mechanical design is beautiful, robust, and works like a
charm. Despite the direct worm gearing (no rubber belts or drive pucks to
wear out), there is no rumble, wow, or flutter in playback

find one of these, never mind in this kind of good condition.

The sound clip link, together with a clip from a 1931 recording of the
same selection is available on this NY Times link already cited. Look for
them on the left side of the page.

his basement could blow the windows out of the house with about 8 watts of
audio per each. Needless to say, he liked to play pipe organ music. LOUD
