This Columbia BF cylinder phonograph from the early 1900s is a unique transitional model designed to support oversized 6-inch cylinders, allowing for longer playtime. It boasts nickel-plated upperworks and a precision-tuned spring-contact reproducer, which provides a superior acoustic response compared to the earlier floating reproducer models.
The unit has been thoroughly restored, both mechanically and cosmetically. Internal parts have been meticulously disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and reassembled to meet or exceed factory specifications for optimal playback quality. The cabinet’s serpentine oak housing maintains its original shape and has been professionally refinished to highlight its rich grain and historical charm. It is ready to be showcased in your home or office! This piece serves as an excellent conversation starter and one you will cherish for many years to come!
The most notable feature is the original flower horn (22 inches wide by approximately 28 inches tall), which remains intact and showcases vibrant hand-painted floral designs. This aspect not only improves tonal projection but also transforms the piece into a work of period art. This unit will be shipped in three (3) boxes. One will be a larger box because of the size of the horn. If you are close, I’m always willing to meet you somewhere and save shipping cost! As always, any questions, feel free to ask!
