Condition Report
Edison phonograph running at the time of inspection, but will require a new drive belt. Top of Gecophone with stains and marks, but intact (see image). Amplion horn probably re-painted green. Some slight cracking to the grain of the timber horn, but no significant damage. Rubber seal now hardened and slightly deformed. The rest of the metal work is worn, commensurate with age and use.
