My grandfather bought this new some time around the turn of the last century, I think. I plays 15.5" metal discs. The stamping on the discs reads; "REGINA, U. S. Patents Dec. 17, 1889, June 27, 1893. The songs on this disk are Swanee River & Old Folks At Home, #1123. This is a floor model, not a table top model.
Enjoy,
Chuck

Thank you tlmbaran
Thanks for sharing, I have never seen one of these before, you learn something new everyday here.
Thank you vanskyock24 & , walksoftly. It plays great, and survived several floods. I found a guy that restores these, however it costs about $3,000 to have it done. It is fine the way it is for now.
Nice peice....I saw one like this on pwn stars, I have a few phonograph players. I get my parts from victrola@victrolarepairservice.com. Talk to Ray at 802-748-4893 (tech talk). He's been very helpful to me. I don't know what he charges for a full restore because I do my own work. He's very friendly.
Thank you very much REED for looking and the information. I will check into that, would love to get it restored some day.
