pur-i-tone phonograph
« on: October 21, 2012, 04:00:55 am »
 I've searched the web for this name but cant seem to find it. Found others but not this one. Can some one tell me how old it is. Works great. Its a crank style. Bought it at a yard sale. Here are a few pics if you can see them. Not to good. Thanks for your help.

Is it only a wind up, if so i,d say late 19th century to early 20th..the speaker is in the bottom of the cabinet,can you give us a better picture of the arm and ant serial numbers...that are on it...
I make no excuses,and no apologies....but i like a good Malt,

Is this tabletop or upright model ??  These do not bring those prices around here !! If in excellent condition an upright model usually runs around $100. to $150. Table top model usually slightly more but not much !! There was quite a bit of info farther down on bigwull`s first link !!

yeah sell it to him,...but first show him the high priced one that i,ve linked here....then tell him yours is  cheap at $200...then drop down to $150 if you have to, and then he,ll think he,s got a bargain....

but we don,t know what she paid.....what if she paid more, would you advocate that she suffers a loss,just because he,s family....no point in feeling good if you,ve just taken a hit....whilst he might end up laughing up his sleeve....

He has bought a couple things off me before and turned around and made 100.00 to 150.00 more selling it to some one else. Talk about a brother screwing you. I would never of done that to him or anyone.  I let it known i was buying it to make money, but you dont screw your family like that.
