Dear Mr. L'Herault,
Thanks for responding for my request for information on my Brunswick
upright with rectangular horn. I suspect this is an early machine
because my early Brunswick with two different soundboxes (one to play
lateral-cut records, the other to play Pathe) has the rectangular
horn. My, presumed later, Brunswick table model with "Ultona" soundbox
has a small oval shaped horn. The metal diaphragm has Brunswick, Balke,
Collender painted on it, somewhat effaced exposing metal beneath, so I
think it is original.
Can anyone else offer info on this phonograph?
All good wishes...
Very
truly yours,
Jim
