chucka Posted November 15, 2021 Posted November 15, 2021 With all these great Triumphs shown here, I thought I'd show my favorite from my collection. It's a Model F in an oak Opera style cabinet, oak horn and O reproducer, bought from original owner over 30 years ago. I use this machine to demonstrate how good cylinders can sound using the best that was available back then. Put a Diamond B reproducer on and a late 5000 series Blue Amberol and they can't believe the sound quality. Picture quality isn't so good, time for a new camera. Chuck 2
Valecnik Posted November 15, 2021 Author Posted November 15, 2021 What a beauty Chuck! I was hoping someone would post an F or G model. I totally agree with you too on the sound quality except I would say that an early directly recorded cylinder sounds even better than a 5xxx series in my opinion.
RodPickett Posted November 16, 2021 Posted November 16, 2021 Chuck Is the on / off lever different from others and in a different position from others featured on this thread? They appear to be different from the Triumphs I have as well. Would be interested on comments. I suppose if you had a better camera, providing a better photo, we could see it more clearly.😄

After playing with my camera settings, it looks like I need a new cameraman. Chuck
AmberolaAndy Posted November 17, 2021 Posted November 17, 2021 June 2022, this will be mine! Good things come to those that wait! 👍
Fran604g Posted December 4, 2021 Posted December 4, 2021 (edited) My Triumph A's feeling a little inadequate because he can't perform repeatedly like some of the other studs shown here, but when he performs for the ladies, he knocks it outta the ballpark. He's got a really big horn! 😁 Edited December 4, 2021 by Fran604g 1 1

phonogfp Posted December 6, 2021 Posted December 6, 2021 ...And I must admit the horn is unusually large. As I recall, the bell diameter is something like 3 feet. It's impressive in person! George P.

You sold this nice horn to me along with that beautiful presumably TTCo. 30" long all brass horn I use on the gr. oak Home A with the Chicago Horn Support, what, maybe 6 years ago? It's perfect for my Triumph.

MTPhono Posted December 8, 2021 Posted December 8, 2021 And for something a little different....... 1
Valecnik Posted December 11, 2021 Author Posted December 11, 2021 Wow completely different indeed MTPhono! Really nice. Looks like it's upgraded to 2-4 minute also?
