Condition: we were able to get this unit to play a record. Sound is loud, clear, and beautiful. I suspect the belt may need to be changed as it does require a lot of cranking, to start spinning and to keep it going. Comes with extra head and lots of needles.

Brand: Decca

Model: 150 (Patent No. 351149)

Era: Circa 1932

Includes: Original badge/tag, visible hand crank, and 1 vintage Columbia 78 RPM shellac record

Beautiful, highly collectible piece of audio history: a vintage Decca Model 150 portable suitcase-style wind-up gramophone. This mechanical phonograph features the original internal hardware design, a bright chrome tone arm, and its original manufacturer identification badge intact inside the lid.

This machine is being sold strictly **UNTESTED and AS-IS** for parts, restoration, or decorative display. We have not wound the internal spring motor or verified the mechanical functionality of the speed governor, brake, or reproducer/sound box.

Condition Details

Mechanical Status: Untested. The hand crank handle is included and safely stored inside the case layout, but the internal spring motor and playing mechanisms have not been checked for performance.

Cosmetic Wear: The exterior suitcase fabric/leatherette covering shows authentic vintage wear, scuffing, weathering, and edge fraying consistent with a 90+ year old portable object. Metal corner brackets, clasps, and hinges show a natural aged patina and light surface rust.

Interior: The internal chrome components, tone arm, and hardware display beautifully with typical light age-related tarnish. The original Decca badge is clearly legible. Case handle is only metal and one lock is missing a piece (see images).

Bonus Items: Includes one vintage Columbia 78 RPM shellac record (visible in photos) to complete the historic display look.
