Vintage Wax Cylinder Dictation Machine Model 10 A : Circa 1911 - 1923Made By Dictaphone Corporaton of New YorkThis is a extremely nice old wax cylinder dictation machine. Cosmetically, this machine is in amazing condition with only a few scratches or scuffs and no significant dents or dings(see pictures for details). With regards to function, it does not power up butthe motor spindle and fan blades move easily as does the ...wheel. I’m not sure but I think the problem may be in the cord or the ceramicreceiver. This machine is belt drivenand is missing the belt. It seems to becomplete and even has the label pad. The cord is hard in places with some cracking. A little research on this modeldates it between 1911 to 1923. Note on Shipping: This machine is heavy (weighing roughly 40lbs with packaging) and is large. It will be professionally packed by thecarrier.Thanks for looking, reviewthe pictures as they are part of the description, email me with anyquestions, and have fun bidding.
