chucka Posted November 15, 2021 Share 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.

Valecnik Posted November 15, 2021 Author Share 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 Share 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.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After playing with my camera settings, it looks like I need a new cameraman. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran604g Posted December 4, 2021 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the ladies are in awe of his performance, even though he's done in two minutes! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phonogfp Posted December 6, 2021 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
