Nice find!!! I have three different styles of these cabinets. Only one is all correct with the paper mache horn and swinging tone arm. I can take some pictures for you if you want. I do have a form to make the horns and have made one already and sold it at the Union Phonograph show. They are a bit complex and very time consuming to make. I hope to make some more horns this winter. Ken Brekke

The model 740, which is similar, is pictured on the cover of Fabrizio and Paul's book Antique Phonograph Gadgets, Gizmos and Gimmicks. It is a rare bird indeed, the only thing is, the proprietary horn is not there. The 740 has a horn attached to the back of the grille which runs by means of a metal tube to the reproducer. Now since both cabinets are different, does anyone know if the 742 had the same proprietary horn? The first incarnation was for outside horn disc machines. Mr's Fabrizio and/or Paul, can you chime in please? John Robles Oh no I am gonna die - I just found out he got it here in my own town! Swoon... _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
