This appears to be a Type "C" equipped with larger support/traveling arms to accommodate a larger horn (but not the horn that's currently on it).? I never heard of a "Frank Seamans pre Zonophone Machine" other than the Gibson Gramophone, the Montross Berliner, or perhaps a United States Talking Machine, and this is not any of those.

This fellow has a live auction going on here. It even has a buyers premium of 22.5%. There is not even a full description of the items as to condition etc. This is totally Buyer Beware!! http://cgi.liveauctions.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=014&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=330219604163&rd=1 Bruce _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
