Item Description: Translate description
Due to the size of the horn with this machine, additional charges for shipping may apply. This impressive Zonophone Grand Opera front mount machine with its unusual oversized auditorium horn set up in its handsome oak cabinet has its original finish and decal in overall good condition. Cabinet features a beveled glass panel for viewing of its powerful motor as well as a celluloid dealer tag from California. The original finish is in overall good condition with a few minor nicks and scrapes here and there as well as a chip in the base molding at the lower left front. See photos. The four corner columns are nicely in tact and the cabinet is nice and tight. As previously stated this machine is fitted with a oversized auditorium horn set up which consists of a Zonophone marked long throat reproducer and a 29-1/2" long traveling arm, horn cradle, lower support arm extension with a floor support to prevent tipping all of which is attached to the original decorative cast iron lower support arm. All of these previously described parts have their original nickel plating in good condition with some minor pitting and wear here and there. Interesting observation that the decorative lower support arm has been notched to accommodate 12" records. This modification appears to be original. The ornamental cast iron bedplate has its original speed control and brake all of which have their original nickel plating with the usual wear, has the original 9" cast iron turntable with original felt and spring loaded locating pin, has original winding crank and the motor winds and runs. Also included is an all brass 43" long oversized auditorium horn and elbow with a 20-1/4" diameter bell. The horn is tarnished inside and out with some verdigris spots as well as a few minor dings and wrinkles, is in overall good condition for size and age, Cabinet measures 16" W X 13" D X 7-1/2" H.. This impressive machine with its rare accessories most likely for dance hall or auditorium use is truly a remarkable find. A wonderful example of a good honest machine. *Note: There are 2 successive lots for this machine (1035A and 1035B), a pedestal and a horn transit case. Perfect companions for this machine. From the Jeff Young Collection.
