nippers_lounge Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 So, i have been looking to buy a Columbia BF Graphophone. Because this machine can play the six inch cylinder records that Columbia produced! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvind Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 The BF and BG are great machines for 6 inch cylinders. Good luck with your search. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippers_lounge Posted June 22, 2023 Author Share Posted June 22, 2023 There are two members on the Talking Machine Forum who each have a Columbia BF. That they are willing to sell. One is in really good shape, the other would need a bit of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippers_lounge Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 I was able to find a Columbia BF machine with a winding crank and a reproducer included, minus the horn. Only because I was willing to pay $400.00. The gentleman lives in south New Jersey. Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nippers_lounge Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Well, I received my new Columbia BF Graphophone today. I bought it from a fellow collector and member of the talking machine forum. This machine is in fantastic condition and plays well. I will need to get a horn for it. In fact the Gentleman I bought it from has a horn I could buy. Now I can look for the Columbia six inch cylinder records. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinfoilphono Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 An original 14" aluminum horn would be perfect. It's a great machine and very attractive in its styling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
