Trudy the Angora Cat favors our BC for napping and watching the records
spin. Mine was way more than $40, but did come with an excellent 78/Pathe
adapter & bonus crate of nice discs - and it's always interesting to see
what constituted a vintage record collection. Your find reminds me of my
Brunswick - it was in the back room of a coin/stamp/45rpm store in the
country outside of Buffalo. They wanted $50, which I managed to raise
(being 12 yrs old, when $50 wasn't to sneeze at) but I couldn't move it home
right away. So, I gave them the money & took every part I could carry -
reproducer, crank, all the old packs of needles, instruction books, even the
turntable. Then I locked the lid took the key. Took me a month to convince
my father to drive out there & haul the thing back .

I found a BC 34 console phonograph many years ago stuffed in the back room
of an antique store with a bunch of old sewing machines. They didn't know
what it was and sold it to me for $40.00. It was first phonograph and it
got me started collecting. I still listen to it today as I work in my
home
office.
