Electrola record player...Ebay..Conn..

Someone here some time ago was speaking about finding one of these and said something about the amp not being correct.

HERE is one that MAY just be right--in the east coast area. I can't even think of getting it--but maybe someone here will want to...

I think that was our esteemed leader, Tim.

It looks like it's all original. Look at the size of the field-coil on that small speaker and the clumsy tone arm.

Looks like the standard 245 amp, worth $200 on it's own. These often went for $500+ a few years ago, with most of them shipped overseas.

Yep, that was me

Unfortunately the Electrola and I parted ways a while ago, but the new owner does live out that way and is supposedly a heavy hitter in the phonograph world and is going to get it restored to original.

I missed it for a couple months, but it went to a much more deserving home and I made a nice buck on it....which went towards things (like the CTC5 adventure I'm on right now, writing this from a hotel in Vestal NY .

If I recall Tim had the Borgia from 1926? By 1929 the design had evolved considerably and was much different.

Wrong amp. That stuff was changing so much at that time, it is just impossible to get parts as so few were made at the time. The 245 amp models are probably the easiest of the early tube amps to acquire.
