Columbia Grafonola Cabinet Phonograph









Party like it’s 1920 with this grand old Columbia Model 701 Grafonola phonograph. It’s in good condition. The music making part works well and the case is OK but it does have a couple faint water marks and an ephemeral ghost-like damp stain in the front. We’ve got  a small bunch of 78 rpm records that we’ll throw in (including several fox trot favorites of the day).
It measures a surprisingly small 32 1/2 inches wide, 20 1/2 inches deep and stand just about 37 inches tall. Apparently these weren’t very expensive when they were originally sold since Columbia saw them as the purchase for their most profitable enterprise: albums.
