I would love to find a nice, all original Columbia BC. Trades or outright purchases are options.

Let me sleep on your, oh so generous, offer (and then I will say NO).
Nice setup you have there though. Would love to complete my collection of pre-1907 attempts at amplification. A Higham is the last that I need (OK, want. ..).

I'm still looking!
I have a Triumph B w/matching oak cygnet horn as a possible trade. Both cabinet and horn have been nicely restored by Steve Farmer.

Scott the BC is a very nice machine if you can get one working.I am sure you know this but when buying one be carefull of the reproducer... there are many parts on it that were made of amber (or rubber) i believe that over the years become brittle and can shatter... And to my knowledge no one has every made repro parts for this reproducer.
i have always wanted one of these but i have only ever heard them.I always wanted one to play at my lake during the 4th of July.I thought i could go out on the lake in the boat with it and play some songs for the neighbors....NOW IF I COULD ONLY FIND THAT 9FT BRASS HORN TO GO ALONG WITH IT!!!
Best of luck, Aaron

Here is a video of one playing since most of us will never hear a working one.
