I found this the other night. Its a Brunswick phonograph about 110 years old. It needs a full restoration but when finished, it will be a beautiful piece. Never know what you'll find when scrapping.

Very nice find. I have to be careful with that kind of stuff or it will wind up taking up space in my space... So, what are you going to do with it? DO you want to keep it? Are you going to sell as it? Are you going to spruce it up and sell it? Are you going to do the restoration yourself?

Years ago when I didn't know better I "restored" 2 very old rifles that had been given to me. When I got through with them they looked really nice but that brought the value down significantly.
There is a restoration process that can increase the value and there's the kind that can decrease the value but you may already know this. I had to learn the hard way.

Thanks to all for the interest. I found a guy near me who restores antiques. This guy is a master craftsman that works on all kinds of antiques. Statues, furniture, phonographs. Worked with museums. The man is over 80 years old and works out of his home shop. I will be keeping this gem for as long as possible. It is being completely restored down to the last screw. I would imagine the value would increase but if it doesn't, well, I'll still have a working phonograph from 1915 or so. I'll post before and after pics when the time comes.
