Offered : great ZONOPHONE gramophone in all original and non restored condition—just like serious collectors like to see! It is a charming small machine with ornate oak cabinet with pillared corners and glass panels on 2 sides and a 7 inch turntable with still the original felt. The motor is running nicely. The horn has some dents –see pictures– , but is in overall good condition ,and has a lovely patina.The size of the horn ( length 36 cm, width 21 cm) is somewhat smaller than the Trade Mark horns which matches nicely the small cabinet.Horn is connected to the reproducer with leather connector which is somewhat dried out causing the horn comes loose: easy fix if one want to do so. On the front of the cabinet there is the ZONOPHONE decal ; infact it has the dealers tag ( Nicole Freres London) put over the American Zonophone decal. And then the real good news is the very early ZONOPHONE long throat reproducer in excellent untouched condition.
A great machine which is difficult to find in this shape
