Neilvanstem Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) For many years and a few decades I had no Columbia cylinder machines. But those days are over and this is one I really love the sound of. It was restored but looks great to me as I have enough that were never restored so why not some of the others that were? A Columbia BO. I just can's say enough about my newly acquired Columbia cylinder machines. I like the sound coming out of them, the looks of them and the durability too. Do you have Columbia cylinder machines? Can you show us them? So without further adieu here it is! Edited June 14, 2020 by Neilvanstem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valecnik Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Nice! The horn is really well done and you have the original stitched leather belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoilphono Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Very nice! I see you have the rare 2/4 minute factory adapter as well. I have a similar BO with 2/4 minute lever, but with a nickel-plated horn. I bought this in 1963 at a local auction, along with a Herzog half-barrel record cabinet full of Indestructible and Blue Amberol records. At $40, that was by far the most expensive purchase I had made up until then (I had about 20 machines at that point). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice nickel horn and hearing what you bought back in 1963 makes me want to go back in time. You made a great purchase for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilvanstem Posted June 14, 2020 Author Share Posted June 14, 2020 Wow do I see a three minute cylinder there? Nice even to have the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chucka Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Guess I'll show my Columbia BO also. This one is only 2 min gearing, and has the Columbia spear tip horn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
