The horn shape could be because of the small cabinet perhaps? Could someone have replaced the mica with a painted celluloid (or some other flexible material) diaphragm? Remove the diaphragm to see if it has letters stamped into the face of the reproducer body. Do a careful search for the holes for the ID disk.

Rectangular blond wood horn with flat bottom and curved sides and top instead of usual oval shaped horn. 2. "Ultona" soundbox with single diaphragm to play lateral-cut records or Pathe sapphire ball records but diaphragm is painted metal instead of the mica diaphragm used on every other "Ultona" soundbox I've seen. 3. No circular metal disc with model number and serial number such as I've seen on all Brunswicks except bow-sided models that]have a level built in. Would like to know how this Brunswick fits in with others, reasons for differences, when it might have been made. It came with a few very early Brunswick 78s and a Brunswick dealers record sack showing later Brunswick label. Thanks! Very truly yours, Jim Cartwright Would like to know when EarthLink Revolves Around You. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
