A GUIDE TO HELP YOU IDENTIFY YOUR MACHINE.
NOTICE THIS REPRO
WITH THE LEGS AND THE LITTLE COMPARTMENT BUILT IN. THIS IS DEFINATELY
A REPRO. REPROS SELL AT MARKET FOR $27 A PIECE. THEN THEY ARE SOLD TO
UNEXPECTED BUYERS FOR HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, TOLD THEY ARE ANTIQUES.
ONE MISTAKE PEOPLE
MAKE IS BUYING A BEAT UP OLD PHONOGRAPH FOR CHEAP, SINKING HUNDREDS OF
DOLLARS INTO IT TO GET IT REPAIRED OR REFINISHED. THEN THEY TRY TO RESELL
THE PHONOGRAPH AT OUTRAGEOUS PRICES TO MAKE UP THE MONEY THEY SANK INTO
IT. WARNING: DO NOT SINK MONEY INTO IT IF YOU WANT TO RESELL. I WILL ALMOST
BET, YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MONEY BACK AS THE VALUE OF THESE OLD MACHINES
HAVE GONE DOWN BECAUSE OF THE POOR ECONOMY. PEOPLE ARE NOT SPENDING LIKE
THEY ONCE DID ON ANTIQUES. THE INTEREST IS DIMINISHING, UNFORTUNATELY.
Please note: These phonographs on this website; even though they may not be in the best conditions, have a lot of history and should be taken care of and respected.
Use this site as a reference only, use this site to familiarize yourself with the many brands and styles of machines. Use these photos to identify your own machine if you don't have a label or seriel plate on it to help you.
Please do not ask
me to appraise your phonograph. All phonographs are unique and in different
conditions. Please refer to books at your local library, online and books
available at Barnes & Noble (www.bn.com)
