I'd love to see pictures of the horn and reproducer, not to mention the unit as a whole.

I suspect this is an early machine because my early Brunswick with two different soundboxes (one to play lateral-cut records, the other to play Pathe) has the rectangular horn. My, presumed later, Brunswick table model with "Ultona" soundbox has a small oval shaped horn. The metal diaphragm has Brunswick, Balke, Collender painted on it, somewhat effaced exposing metal beneath, so I think it is original. Can anyone else offer info on this phonograph? All good wishes...
