Columbia “BG” Cylinder Graphophone

Columbia BG Cylinder Graphophone

In line with popular tastes and their own stylistic heritage, Columbia launched the “BG” model, targeting the upper-class market. This exclusive model comes in a mahogany case with smooth, rounded columns and a built-up top accented with base molding. Both the bedplate and the upper works feature extensive nickel plating. The long mandrel is designed to play both the new “3” minute “20th Century” records and Columbia’s standard 4-inch cylinders.

This “BG” has been professionally restored to meet its original specifications, ensuring it is as pristine as, if not superior to, its original condition. It showcases remarkable visual allure, highlighted by its fine nickel plating and the distinguished mahogany case. The graphophone functions beautifully once wound. The “BG” model includes a durable four-spring motor capable of playing an array of cylinders. It is a stunning and sought-after piece that would stand out in any collection. For additional details, please see the pictures. Should you have any inquiries, do not hesitate to ask!

**Shipping Information: ** Due to its substantial weight, the machine will be shipped in two separate boxes. The first box will contain the motor and upper components, while the second will house the case. This shipping method is selected to maximize safety and minimize the risk of damage during transport.
