Dan Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I bought this from someone in England it looks like a Columbia eagle except for the base. There is a 5 digit number on the base plate , it on the opposite side of the governor. Any info would be greatly appreciated? It came with a slide wood case , the case looks homemade??? see pictures Thanks Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phonogfp Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 A European copy of the Eagle Graphophone. There are a few places where it differs from the Columbia product. These are interesting - - and there were a lot of them! George P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted August 24 Author Share Posted August 24 Thanks George are parts interchangeable between them. Do you know if had a cover over the belt? I only looked at it quick but most of the parts look the same . I’ll get a better look in next few days. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phonogfp Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I wouldn't count on interchangeability of parts, if for no other reason that the threads will be metric. I assume there was originally a belt cover. You might want to post this under the "British & European" category to hopefully get an informed answer. Good luck! George P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
