The Columbia Type AK Disc Graphophone, produced in 1903 by the Columbia Phonograph Company for Sears Roebuck and Co., represents a significant artifact from the early phonograph industry. This particular model, distinguished by its exclusive metal support bracket, was prominently featured in the Sears catalog of the same year. It boasts an exquisite original oak cabinet and an impressive banner decal. The reproducer is marked and delivers exceptional sound quality. Included with the machine are the original drop-off crank and a black belled horn. This Columbia AK talking machine/phonograph is in outstanding working order, showcasing an early disc phonograph design with an approximate 6.25-inch turntable. The brass elbow is marked with the appropriate patent indications. The cabinet dimensions are roughly 10 inches by 8 inches by 6 inches in height. Both the motor and reproducer function effectively, having recently undergone a comprehensive restoration that guarantees its longevity. This item exemplifies the early Columbia AK phonograph and is seldom available for purchase in any condition, making this a rare opportunity.
