This vintage coin-operated phonograph is highly valued by both collectors and music aficionados. Dating back to around 1898, the “AS” model is particularly rare, distinguished by its “S” ID tag, a remnant from an earlier version, which enhances its uniqueness and appeal. The phonograph showcases a black enameled chassis that evokes the famous “New York” Type “A” model, embellished with red floral designs and gold stems that add to its enduring allure. Beneath the bedplate lies a single spring gear-driven motor, accessible through the cabinet’s hinged front panel. While the device has been restored to operational status, the spring that resets it may occasionally need gentle assistance. The coin mechanism functions perfectly, providing a smooth user experience. It is important to note that the locks do not come with a key. This early and rare artifact will be meticulously packaged in two boxes to guarantee its safe transit. For any inquiries or additional information, please feel free to reach out to us. This represents a remarkable opportunity to acquire a significant piece of historical significance.
