    As early Zon-O-Phones go, it doesn’t get much better than this — completely original and
    very
    clean, with a desirable close-faced “V” reproducer.
    Cabinet finish is smooth; wood and trim are outstanding, with no issues; beveled glass panels are flawlessly cut and undamaged; nickel plating is excellent all around (the plating on the arms is particularly nice, and like every other aspect of this phonograph, it’s original); celluloid tag is complete and the lettering on the tag is legible; horn and elbow are nearly perfect; original horn cradle sheathed in original rubber; mechanism is spotless; very little pitting or oxidation anywhere; original purple felt still lines the bottom interior of the cabinet.
    Runs well.
    Please review the pictures. They tell the story better than I can.
    I'm one of ebay's best known, most highly regarded sellers of collector quality phonographs. I've been selling
    and shipping them
    for more than 25 years. When you purchase an antique phonograph from me, you'll receive a phonograph that arrives safely because it's been carefully packed (by
    me
    , not by some well-intentioned but nonetheless confounded, doe-eyed teenager working at the UPS store who wouldn't know a phonograph from a farm tool).  Sure, you can probably get a lower price from Joe and Janet Barn-Find, but when your "bargain" arrives broken, and without any hint of how it works or how you might be able to put it back together, you'll realize that you really do get exactly what you pay for.
