    Description

    COLUMBIA "BG" PHONOGRAPH
    Offered for sale is this nice Columbia BG, made around 1909. It was colloquially named the "Sovereign". It was a premier offering, costing when new (about 3 months wages for the average workingman).
    This is equipped with factory gearing that will play 2-minute and 4-minute cylinders by means of a simple gear-change device on the left side.
    Equipped with a 4-spring motor, and extended length mandrel that will accommodate the longer "20th Century" cylinders. The original Columbia #15 reproducer will play both types of "Indestructable" cylinders (we do not recommend playing early wax cylinders).
    The mahogany case, in excellent condition, has been refinished in the past.
    The brass bed plate and top works are nickel-plated, with some wear commensurate with age.
    An original aluminum horn is fitted and supplied with the machine.
    We will supply some two and four-minute cylinders with your purchase.

    PACKING & SHIPPING:
    Check our eBay feedbacks, you will see that we know how to pack and ship this safely to your door. We do our own packing and shipping, so it is done right, using fresh, new materials, not stuff we picked out of a local dumpster. This will require two (2) separate boxes, one for the mechanism, and another for the cabinet, horn and other smaller items.  Some re-assembly will of course be required by the buyer.
    We have safely shipped phonographs such as this to all corners of the globe.
    We will only ship this via FedEx.  NO USPS shipping due to the current COVID pandemic, which has post offices around the world shut down.
    We are a leading world-wide dealer and specialist in mechanical music, clocks and phonographs and stand by what we sell 100%.  We have many hundreds of items for sale at:
