COLUMBIA DISC GRAPHOPHONE
Columbia put the other talking machine companies to shame when it came to style. They specialized in eye-catching decals and glossy flower horns. This "BNW" Disc Graphophone is distinguished by its extraordinary state of preservation -- the finish of the oak cabinet is original and is in excellent condition. The original Columbia horn has been professionally restored and decorated. All parts are original.
The BNW was a direct descendent of the Type BN, but with a much larger and more imposing cabinet. Here we can appreciate the fine condition of the original finish, and the excellent original decal.
All components are in fine condition, with excellent original nickel plating. We have taken special care to skillfully rebuild and regulate the soundbox (needle head) to produce loud and clear music. Note, Columbia cleverly designed the soundbox to twist back and keep the needlebar safe.
The soundbox, rotated into playing condition.
Within the cabinet this smooth-running double-spring motor has enough power for any of your 78 rpm records.
This notice appears inside the cabinet -- note that it is also written in Spanish -- during the 'teens, South America was to become a lucrative market for external-horn talking machines.
The Columbia Type BNW Disc Graphophone -- classic good looks, superb playing quality, big, translucent-finish red horn -- all at an unbeatable price!
Price: $1695.00 plus s/h, (NY State residents must add tax if applicable).
