COLUMBIA DISC GRAPHOPHONE TYPE BH
Columbia put the other talking machine companies to shame when it
came to
style. They specialized in pretty decals and eye-catching horns. The
Type "BH" Disc Graphophone was an "updated" version of an earlier model
call the "AJ." The horn is especially noteworthy -- it is an
original Columbia flower flower in exceptional condition with original
factory paint. Note that even after well more than 100 years, the paint
is still shiny!
The oak
cabinet with enticingly curvy molding and pillars. The decal is
an historically perfect replica of the original, underneath the cabinet
finish, precisely like it was done back in the day. A friend of
ours has devoted his retirement to hand-making these archivally correct
decals.
All components are in fine condition. We have performed a
professional, thorough cleaning, polishing and calibration. Our
instruments are spotlessly
clean. We take no short cuts. 53 years of experience go into everything
we sell.
We have taken special care to
skillfully rebuild and regulate the soundbox (needle head) to produce
big, bold and brilliant music. Where do our competitors fail?
One significant factor is the soundbox. We have seen
every kind of jury-rigged nonesense that other dealers have
perpetrated. And we have fixed their mistakes.
The BH has a smooth-running spring motor, which we have
literally spent hours professionally tweaking and
adjusting. A brand new mainspring assures the correct power and
performance. What do other sellers do? They think they can
"repair" a broken spring by putting a drywall screw through it.
And they don't have the smarts to know a good playing motor from
a messed-up one.
The Columbia Type BH Disc Graphophone -- a beautiful, authentic antique talking machine -- look how it shines!
Price: $1350.00 plus s/h, (NY State residents must add tax if
