Dan Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Hi all, I recently acquired a Silvertone Portable wind up gramophone, having a hard time finding any information about this machine. Anyone have a source of info and/or parts. It’s not in bad shape winds up spins brake works, missing screws to hold tone arm on and looks like a piece to attach reproducer might be missing . Any help would be greatly appreciated Thanks Dan
JacobW Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 I believe they were sold by sears. Does it say tru phonic on the inside.
Dan Posted January 31, 2023 Author Posted January 31, 2023 I was able to find out that Sears did make them but that’s about all, No it has Silvertone Portable written in gold on the front of record holder, I don’t see any other marking except proof /trademarks on the spring and motor housings 1

For parts I would keep a eye on ebay and also their is a guy in Michigan that has a warehouse full of parts. But he is out for the season
Dan Posted January 31, 2023 Author Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks do you have any contact info for the Michigan guy
