Waters Conley Phonola

Post: # 13803Post electra225 »

Bill was asking whether Phonola was a company or a model. Both, I guess. Waters Conley was the company in Minnesota. Phonola was the brand they sold record players under.

Very good. My brother has a Sears-brand acoustic phono, as I recall, a table-top model that was probably made by this company.

Waters Conley also made wind-up phonographs for the US army in WWII.

Elton, that kind of reminds me of a GE Trimline that I have waiting in the same que. :roll: ;) :) Your Phonola and my GE look very similar.
