For a modification, that's actually kinda cool looking (except for the funky winding key). It also looks like the pressboard faux leather trim was removed. I've posted about the Europa before - basically, the internal / external horn models have the same body, but different bases. There are at least a couple of variations in the faux leather trim patterns. They also seemed to use any single spring motor that they had lying around. There is also a round "birthday cake" internal horn model that went by the name of Lyric which was probably sold in the British & Canadian markets.
I've yet to find any advertising on the Europa - FWIW, the patent label doesn't mention Columbia, but lists Columbia patents. I did however come across a real photo with a gaggle of girls sitting at a picnic table with the internal horn Europa.

For a small local sale, it was quite successful. I sold five out of six machines on my table (Canadian Berliner, Edison Standard with #10 cygnet, Zonophone Home, Amberola 50, and an Amberola DX. Other machines that sold included a Vic V, Vic I, Vic O, Standard A, Col Q, Edison Home, and another Standard with #10 cygnet. I talked to some vendors that thought the sale was poorly attended but I had a good time (and took home the Vic O!).

I sold a nice Edison Home and and 5-drawer cylinder cabinet as well as cylinders, records and various other small related items. I also bought 2 nice small machines including a beautiful Jack and Jill childrens machine with the original box. The event is now in a different and newer building and, I think, more pleasant. The Oregon Territory Antique Phonograph Society also inducted 4 new members into our local MAPS chapter at the Salem event. Come join us next year for the event in the middle of February. stan stanford ----- Original Message ----- From: "DeeDee Blais" <deedeebl...@yahoo.com> To: <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Friday, February 22, 2008 6:25 AM Subject: [Phono-L] Salem Oregon Phono Sale > The "Sounds of Nostalgia" phonograph sale was last > Sunday.
