Up for sale, we are offering a wonderful Standard Disc Talking Machine from 1909.

“The Standard Disc Model A is a compact-sized instrument, of nicely composed proportions, that will fit in any room, and produce bright and enchanting music! And let's not forget about the reasonable price!

One of the Midwestern brands of disc talking machine at the turn of the 20th century was "Standard Disc" of Chicago. Standard instruments were in fact designed and built by the Columbia Phonograph Co., who were justly famous in their own right as high quality manufacturers. We believe the "Model A" taking machine is about the most pleasing, plump, peppy and perfectly balanced instrument you can find! The original flower horn has been carefully repainted in a special process that creates a tranlucent finish identical to the original factory lacquer. Plus, cheerful cabbage roses have been hand-painted by our artist, in the manner of times past, capturing the precise look of the early twentieth century.. The outstanding condition of all the components makes this delightful instrument enormously appealing. Original factory cabinet finish and decal.

Our immaculate antique talking machine will bring a smile to the face of anyone. The horn is especially charming, the perfect size to compliment the cabinet. This instrument will play one 10" diameter 78 rpm record per winding, the motor is strong and reliable. Do not mistake our carefully adjusted, painstakingly restored instruments for the wrecks you find on eBay -- our machines work properly and sound great!”

Price: $1250.00 US, plus s/h (NY State residents must add tax if applicable.).

SOLD: Victor Talking Machine "MS" (Monarch Special) from 1904.

"This spectacularly carved oak cabinet ranks as the Victor considered most beautiful by the public. It so perfectly expresses the period! Our restoration has been performed to preserve all the important historical features (including the original cabinet finish) which are so susceptible to devastation by amateur handiwork. You would have to describe us as "obsessive" about doing things correctly. No other dealer is "crazy" enough to spend time we invest in getting things RIGHT. This instrument appears today (and PLAYS) as it did the day it left the factory. The black flower horn has been restored to its original appearance, with ebony paint and snappy gold trim.

The Victor Monarch Special was and still is a top-of-the-line instrument. Today, it's a highly collectible, but eminently ATTAINABLE object of desire."

For sale, we have an exceptional Vic IV talking machine from 1913.

"The importance of this instrument is that it has survived in an extraordinary state of preservation. And we have cleaned and adjusted it, but we haven't tampered with its condition. Original cabinet finish. Original paint on the horn. This stunning instrument literally glows. It is crisp, and clean, and clear, and classy. Dazzling, delightful, bewitching, ravishing! No other seller has the 52 year experience and expertise that we put into our instruments every day. We have examined closely the work of other dealers, they are nice people, but they do not even have enough knowledge to understand the mistakes they are making.

Most Victor talking machines were constructed of oak. Reasonably few were mahogany because mahogany was more expensive. This makes the Victor IV a rarity, and the look of it is undeniably alluring. If you want to experience what a Victor Talking Machine was like when it was new -- get this one! See how it shines! This incredibly pristine, excellent playing, sleekly beautiful Victor is a delight to the eyes AND ears."

Price: $2850.00 US, plus shipping and handling. (NY State residents must pay sales tax, if applicable.)

For sale, we are offering a lovely Victor "II" talking machine, with oak wooden horn, 1910.

"This later version of the II had an enlarged oak cabinet and other improved features -- and this particular example is in truly excellent condition. It's the HORN, however, that really seduces the eye! We call your attention to the spectacular oak horn. In our opinion, based on many years of observation, this special wooden horn, specifically made for the Victor II, has the most stunning and vibrant grain ever created.

This stunning instrument entertains today as it did a century ago ! This Victor II looks and plays great! What is the difference between what you buy from phonophan and what you buy from eBay? EVERYTHING. We are constantly shocked and bewildered to see the level of outright deceit that passes for "normal" every day on eBay. If you want the TRUTH, call us today!
