Columbia "BI"

1905 - original price $45.00



This machine was advertised as " the first to offer the Aluminum Tone Arm".
It came with a 9 pedal, Nickel plated, 22" bell Horn. The motor was a
dual spring, dual ball governor and was advertised to play 3 records with a
single winding.

All exposed metal was brightly nickel plated, and around 1908 a " beauty "
ring was added around the turntable. An oak horn was available also.

This machine, as you can see is just as issued. The motor we cleaned and lubed,
shows little to no wear. The cabinet is pristeen, and the decals as pictured, are
as bright as new.







This is a great machine and has been stored away somewhere protecting the
finish on metal and cabinet.
All on this machine is original, except the crank that the previous owner says
was on it when he found it, 30 years ago.

The Price for this exceptional machine that has been gone through and needs
nothing else but to show off and enjoy is,
 

$2150.00
