Travis, I saw your request for cylinder record player , I think I can help you out as long it’s ok with parents/ guardians. Please be sure to check with them before we proceed. I have a Columbia Q graphophone it runs well , it ‘s missing a few parts but I have those ordered . When they arrive ,I’ll be ready to ship it to you. You have to do some cleaning , adjustment lubrication. You will need to resource a reproducer and horn , you should be able find these here on the forum or maybe EBay. Maybe another member will help you out with those. (see pictures/video) So if it’s ok with your folks I need your address when I’m ready to ship it. If you do agree please keep us updated as to the progress with the restoration. Welcome to a great hobby IMG_4455.mov Dan Powers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phonogfp Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Travis, That Type Q would be a great machine for you to start out on! They're simple to maintain, easy to disassemble/reassemble, fun to watch while running, and play pretty well for what they are. Finding a horn and reproducer is easy - especially if you don't mind reproductions, which are readily available. Nice offer, Dan! Good on you - - George P. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to a great hobby IMG_4455.mov 5.29 MB · 0 downloads Dan Powers Wow, Holy smokes, thank you for the offer. I am interested. The Colombia Q and Eagle models are actually my favorite phonographs:). I have checked with my folks and they have given me the ok for us to continue. My address is 1031 South Mollison ave unit E, El Cajon, California. If shipping is to much for you I will gladly cover it for you:) Again thank you for this offer.

I have seen this expired post on the for sale forum about two Busy Bee cylinder players for sale. I know that the Busy Bee players are basically the same as the Colombia Q besides the over sized mandrel. Would the reproducers also be the same? Because if so I will reach out to the seller and see If they would just be able to sell me the reproducer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P. Thanks for clarifying. I might buy the 14 inch horn from the phonograph shop. Would that be too heavy for the reproducer? Thanks for clarifying.

I'm aware of at least 2 occasions where fairly decent Model Ts were given to aspiring, young enthusiasts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
