Item Details
Description
At first glance this machine appears to be an early Victor toy model but further investigation shows that it is made with Berliner parts i.e. support and travel arm, top wind, etc. It paints a picture of a Berliner machine that has been scaled back allowing Berliner to undercut it’s competition. It has neither cabinet or a spring cover. There is no identification of any kind with the exception of a repro decal for the Gramophone & Typewriter Co Ltd. Has original top wind crank, support arm with almost no original plating left. Oak travel arm is original with VG original plating and finish. The reproducer is a J serial No. 49028. Original record hold down with little original plating. Motor winds and runs. Original leather elbow. Horn is a 15” X 10” all black bell horn with original paint with a few touch ups and 2 gold stripes on the body and a gold stripe on the lip of the bell. Horn is excellent in both body and bell. Oak base measures 9” X 11”. An extremely rare variation on a Berliner phonograph.
