Columbia Graphophone Model "AA"

Columbia Model AA Cylinder Graphophone
Patented in 1896 but more likely manufactured around 1900 here is a Columbia Model AA Cylinder Graphone. It plays only the 2 minute cylinders.
The machine has been cleaned and reconditioned and works very well. It has a new high quality floating reproducer with a genuine sapphire stylus.  The leather belt has just been replaced. The beautiful oak case is in excellent condition as well. The solid brass horn and the wind handle are not original to the machine but work very well.
One newly made  2 minute cylinder record will be included in the sale; Alexander's Ragtime Band 1911    I. Berlin     Billy Murry
A demonstration playing can be viewed by clicking on my last picture.
