Hi folks, my first post here. Real name, Stephen Sutton, relocated from England to Vermont where I run my record company and arts center, and am making space for my record and phono collection, phase 1 now open as The Phonograph Room (www.phonographroom.org). I just acquired a machine which has no ID whatsoever and not being familiar with older US models I am stuck.. I have posted links to a webpage of pics. The machine is an internal horn table model (no lid, so I am estimating around 1910??) in fine mahogany. It has a three piece arm, weirdly crooked! The reproducer is an incorrect replacement as the grubscrew is 180 degress form the slot. 12" platter, nicely made and perforated, sorry I did not photo the underside. It has a two-spring motor held in a chassis of black painted iron and a primitive wooden horn (as might be expected, the voulme produced is pretty low_. Even the motor and casing has no marking of any kind, but it's too fine to be a home made assembly I think... I need to ID this for museum and insurance purposes so if anyone can help please do!
