Brunswick antique record player. Great condition phonograph model RABRUNSWICK 78RPM PHONOGRAPH CONSOLE - MODEL RA - WORKING - TRIPLE HEAD REPRODUCER

Antique Brunswick horizontal console floor phonograph, Model # RA, in working condition. It stands about 34" tall, and measures about 39" x 21" at the widest part of the lid. There is a gold "Brunswick - The Brunswick-Balke-Collender Co." decal behind the tone arm bracket, and a circular metal tag on the turntable deck that says "The Brunswick. All Phonographs in One.

Also mounted in or attached to the turntable deck are three needle cups, one being hooded and removable; and a slow-fast adjustment dial.

It has a push-pull tone or volume control on the side, which softens the tone a little when pulled out. The reproducer is one of those complex Brunswick things that has three styli and three positions for the three different styles of record groove - Pathe, Edison Diamond Discs and regular 78's. We don't have any Pathe or Edison 78's so we haven't been able to run those tests. I have only tested it in the regular position. Cabinet-wise, it has decoratively turned legs and cross-braces, and a decorative grille. I don't believe the grille cloth is original, but you never know - it's nice and faded from age.I otherwise in great shape, apart from some surface nicks and scratches here and there. The record storage spaces on either side of the speaker are solid and functional, If there are any records shown in the pictures, they are...
