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 horn has been professionally restored. All parts are original.
The BNW was an improved version of the popular Graphophone Type "BN." The molding was dramatically enlarged to give the instrument an imposing character. In fact, the "W" in the model designation stood for "Wide." The fancy decal is original.
All components are in fine condition. And the signature Columbia styling of cool nickel plating against warm oak easily succeeds to impress the eye. We have taken special care to skillfully rebuild and regulate the soundbox (needle head) to produce loud and clear music.
Within the cabinet this smooth-running spring motor has enough power for any of your 78 rpm records. In fact, this double-spring motor is identical to those found in the floor model Columbia Grafonolas of the period.
The original oiling instructions from inside the cabinet.
Under the cabinet, this HUGE label lists patent information and the original selling price.
The Columbia BNW Disc Graphophone -- classic good looks, superb playing quality, shiny red horn -- all at an unbeatable price!
Price: $1650.00 plus s/h, (NY State residents must add tax if applicable).
