Description
Ratchet Wind Front Mount Berliner Phonograph, this scarce phonograph has all original parts including reproducer (believed to be of the Clark Johnson type), horn and older replacement leather elbow. Original wooden tone arm has all of its original hardware. Nickel plating on ratchet is only at 75% showing some wear and rust. Cabinet has its original golden oak finish. Decal on back of machine 15% remains, original felt on turntable is present but needs to be replaced. There is an unusual metal trim/shim underneath the front mount. Also, one tiny screw hole on top right side of cabinet. Since the original break mechanism is present on the left side, no idea why there is a screw hole on the right side. No record hold down. Has original all black 15" horn with 9-3/4" cone shaped bell. Original black paint with gold pinstripes. Has numerous dents and dings on large end of bell, as well as a few on the body. A good and honest example of a hard to find machine! See photos.
