Make sure to check out all of my auctions after you've looked at this one. I'm listing an outstanding assortment of musical, electrical and mechanical antiques, and I suspect that there will be something of interest to almost everyone. Here's a very pretty Zon-O-Phone Concert front mount disc phonograph manufactured 110 years ago. The phonograph is complete and running, and it retains its original paper notice on the underside of the base. This is one of the last of the true Zon-O-Phones, with long fancy arms, a metal motorboard, a long brass horn and a rectangular cabinet. In 1905, after it purchased the company, Victor re-styled the entire Zon-O-Phone line-up so that Zon-O-Phones produced from that point forward looked little different than other Victors.The quarter-sawn oak cabinet is in great shape, with no significant dings and no damage. Motor and mechanism are original and there don't appear to be any distressed or damaged gears. Speed control screw is original, with some pitting, as you can see in the photographs. Bedplate has some tarnish on it, but overall it's in good shape. The reproducer is an older replica of a Zon-O-Phone Concert V. It's in decent shape, with a diaphragm that's still intact and a good needle-bar. Lettering behind the diaphragm is still crisp and clear. Brake assembly is original and working properly.
