Who had the MultiPhone for sale, do you know? The only one that I have seen recently was Paul Baker's, which he brought to our March show in Charlotte. It was for sale for $150,000. The only other one I know of is in a house about 5-6 miles from here... and it's not in as good a condition as Paul Baker's. That being said, they are incredible machines, but definitely WAY out of my price range...

I just heard that at Stanton's auction this weekend the Multiphone upright 24 cylinder phonograph sold for $77,000.00. Okay, it probably is neat to have but it sure is a lot of money! (oh yes there was a buyers premium too!). That's a year's take home pay a middle class white collar worker. Anyone on list go? How was attendance?

Re: [Phono-L] Who has THIS kind of money?
Actually, Steve, the price is high but think of the high end Victor machines that sold for more than the average annual salary when they were new... it's all relative. Back in the early 1900's you could buy a hundred acre farm for the average price of a good quality phonograph or gramophone.
