    Description

    This auction is for a rare VINTAGE 1930s MGN PORTABLE BROWN GRAMOPHONE. It is a RUSSIAN COPY OF SWISS THORENS EXCELDA model. From what I found while researching, a Russian company made an exact replica of the Thorens model, and sold it as their own. I believe these are rare because I had to dig deep to find any information on this.
    It was a great design is this still works well after 90 years. The crank winds it up and creates the pressure that then spins to circulate the record. The last photo is a picture of it rotating. The one thing that this is missing is a needle. Everything else is there and all stores back into itself!
    I cannot read any of the words on the outside. There is a stamp on the underside of the lid that numbers it 21473.
    The outside of the gramophone is in pretty good condition, but definitely not perfect. As you can see from the photos, there are multiple places that are scratched or missing paint. In addition, there is a dent close to the leather handle. The leather handle is in superb condition… Almost to where I think it might have been replaced. Please note that I have not tried to clean this, so it is a bit dusty inside and out.
    It is about 11 inches long, 5 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall.
    Please see all photos for detailed images of the condition of this item. Please let me know if you need any additional photos. Contact me through eBay, and I will respond as quickly as I can. Thank you!
