RARE COLUMBIA BV GRAPHOPHONE  CYLINDER PHONOGRAPH, PLAYS BUSY BEE RECORDS!

Listen to it play now as you  view!

This is an extremely rare Busy Bee cylinder  player that is a BV model that uses the Busy Bee type cylinder. I have never  seen another one! It comes with two playable Busy Bee wax cylinders of which I  created sound files for. Both records have there original cartons and one with  the original correct lid top. One recording is La Marsalis, the French national  march and the other is a duet by Collins and Harlan, "Susan, Kiss Me Good and  Hard". This machine would date from 1905 and comes with the original 10" brass  bell horn! These horns almost never turn up and when they do, they sell for  $200/$250 alone. They come on Eagles, Q's, and sometimes black Edison Gems. The  motor runs quietly and true. The  regular Columbia BV is rare enough but one with a Busy Bee mandrel unique to the  machine is unheard of. Also, it uses a giant governor that's over 3" long. About  the largest known. The finish on the lid and case is totally original. The lid  latches are both there, but one side may need some adjustment before it can be  carried by the lid handle. Both cylinders play with some background noise. Sound  files are available for both upon request. Call me up if you can't here the  unity playing for any reason. The case is tiny measuring only 10" by 7".  Shipping is $30.00 within the US.
