HERE IS A COLUMBIA 2 MINUTE BV CYLINDER PHONOGRAPH.
THIS HAS BEEN RESTORED AS I PULLED IT OUT OF A COLLECTION AND STUCK IT ON THE INVENTORY SHELVE YEARS AGO.
THE COLUMBIA BV IS A GREAT LITTLE MACHINE AS THE BASE MEASURES ONLY AROUND 10 1/4" X 7 1/2" . SO A PERFECT SHELVE MACHINE.
YOU CAN SEE THE CASE HAS BEEN RESTORED WITH TOP EDGES HAVING VENEER WEAR IN THE PAST.
A SIMPLE SINGLE SPRING MOTOR AND A LARGE GOVERNOR.
IT WILL WILL PLAY AS IT HAS A NICE STYLUS ON IT BUT WHEN YOU STICK A RECORD ON IT THE STYLUS WILL DRAG ON THE RECORD SO YOU NEED TO ADJUST OR LIVE WITH IT. IT DOES PLAY PART OF THE RECORD BUT YOU WILL NEED TO SOME SIMPLE ADJUSTING TO IT TO PLAY THRU A HOLE RECORD.
THE CRANK AS YOU CAN SEE IS NOT ORIGINAL TO THE MACHINE BUT IT WORKS JUST FINE.
THE BEDPLATE AS IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND ONE OF THE BETTER ONES I HAVE HAD.
