1906 Columbia BK Graphophone
Columbia introduced the very popular Model BK Graphophone in 1906, advertising it as the "Jewel". A fairly modest machine, it featured a quality oak cabinet with two spring motor and the famous Columbia Lyric Reproducer, capable of playing two-minute cylinders.
This BK is in very nice condition. The oak cabinet retains its original finish, which has been recently polished and cleaned to remove years of dirt and dust.
The original Columbia Lyric Reproducer has been rebuilt with fresh gaskets, so it sounds fine!
