Columbia Disc Graphophone, Type AH
In 1906, Columbia showed the world that its products were not only
sturdy and reliable, but classically beautiful. Note the
curvaceous, pillared oak cabinet, and the decorative support arms,
proudly declaring the Columbia name. It's important to point out
that this instrument has all its original components -- over the years
the arms were often lost or misplaced from similar models.
Consequently, modern replicas of the arms, and also the brass
horn elbow and other compoments, were produced. Our machine,
however. has no replica components.
The original factory Graphophone banner decal is bright and cheerful.
A convient carrying handle was provided -- in the "oxidized bronze" finish popular at the time.
Another factory original decal -- the "balloon" decal boasting about winning the Grand Prize.
The ornate aluminum arms -- aluminum was a "wonder metal" just coming
into use at the time. Columbia was always on the cutting edge of
innovation.
The Columbia "Analyzing" soundbox yields a big, bright sound. The
arrangement of the horn, and its direct connection to the soundbox
gives amazing sound quality and volume.
The spotlessly clean motor, with two new mainsprings to provide maximum
power. What do we give you at phonophan that other sellers
don't? For one thing, we replace the mainsprimgs when necessary.
It has often been noted by other sellers that they remove
mainsprings, clean them and put them back in the motor. This is nothing short of absurd
if the springs are weak. Think of it this way --- would you pay a
mechanic to remove the worn brake shoes on your car, only to clean them
and put them back on? Of course not! If parts are worn, they need replacing. At phonophan we know more than the other guys, and our instruments show it!
The Disc Graphophone, Type AH is like a time machine, and its ready to
take you time traveling! It's beautiful, with original
components, and functions like new due to our 54 years of experience
and expertise!
