Introduced in 1905 as Columbia’s premier disc machine, the BD “Majestic” offers a perfect blend of sophisticated design and solid performance. Its rounded mahogany cabinet and rear-mount construction nod to the elegance of the earlier Columbia AR model—while adding refined upgrades for serious collectors and music lovers alike.
This BD features a 12-inch turntable, an analyzing reproducer, and a robust 3-spring / 2-ball motor built for smooth, consistent play with minimal winding between sessions. The large nickel horn makes a bold visual and acoustic statement. While the original horn shows light wear through to the brass in a few areas, its patina adds character and doesn’t detract from the machine’s stunning presence.
Freshly restored throughout, the phonograph showcases polished woodwork, gleaming hardware, and carefully calibrated internal mechanics. This restored Columbia disc Graphophone is tuned for smooth operation and collector-grade resonance. Its artful silhouette—echoing Columbia’s AY and AR lines—commands attention in any space.
Ideal for enthusiasts of historic sound machines, early Columbia phonographs, and restored vintage audio gear. A rare opportunity to own a fully functional piece of early 20th-century acoustic technology. Whether you’re spinning your favorite discs or adding a striking focal point to your collection, this BD offers timeless craftsmanship and authentic acoustic charm. Crank included, but not pictured.
