Hello Folks
I am horrified to see what it sold for. I suspect the seller is being cagey
when he says "Someone who knows
has way arround gramophones will know how old this one is , I can't
tell because I don't know enough about these things ."What a tidy disclaimer.
Why would you buy it in the first place if you knew nothing about it?
This guy's name is radioseller, which one would think implies some knowledge of
antique sound producing equipment. Please note before you flame me that I only
said I SUSPECT the seller is being misleading. I am not making accusations, and
this is all just my conjecture of course, and it is a buyer beware world on
ebay, but spending over $2,000 on this..what a sad, sad loss for the buyer.Oh
well.

OH WOW-- The record groove has to drag the whole horn-- No wonder he
installed ball bearings on the pivots. One needle per play-one play per
record

I wonder if the drive worm was changed to match 78 rpm

This is a hoot. It looks like a very nicely made crapophone based on the
Edison Diamond Disc machines.
It is Ebay no. 400097511447
