Yes, I saw that, but there are a couple other anomalies about this machine, that draw me to Allen's conclusion!! The elbow looks exactly like those found on a Talkophone, go to the website that features the talkophone machines!!, and the horn is 21" long, exactly the length that is found on the Talkophone!! Always remember that old adage "Let the buyer beware". Seems that I may be now in the Market for an original Columbia long throat reproducer and a Columbia horn for my AH, and trying to find a buyer for an original Talkophone reproducer elbow and horn.
