Dear enthusiasts,
I'm new in the field of gramophones and phonographs and proudly own an Electrola 101 (German version of the HMV 101) and an HMV 102. Now I've stumbled upon a Brunswick gramophone (see pictures).
Does anyone of you have an idea what kind of Brunswick that is, if it is one at all? I haven't found any similiar model so far, especially none with such a lever next to the arm.
Best regards
Jan

The tonearm and horn look like they came from a Brunswick Panatrope Exponential horn model, circa late-1920s. I've never seen that type of motor-board or hardware used on one of these, but that doesn't mean it's not authentic. I see what looks like a blue decal under the lid. Any chance of taking a close-up of that? Also, a few more pictures showing the cabinet might help.

Thanks JDS for your reply.
Unfortunately I don't have a close-up of the decal. However, I've attached a picture with the door shut. There are some lovely carvings on the outside.
The grammophone was probably built for the German market.
