BEAUTIFUL 27" UPRIGHT REGINA
In elegant case...
This attractive 27" upright Regina music box dates from the end of
the 1890's. Standing 7'4" high, it is among the very largest music boxes
ever made in America.
The instrument uses the standard 27" Regina music box discs and
plays them on a large double comb. Thcre are a half dozen discs with
the box, and others are available cheaply with the purchase of this
instrument. A storage bin in the bottom tilts forward to permit discs to
be taken in and out easily.
The cabinet of this 27" Regina is one of the most beautiful we have
seen. It is of red mahogany ornamented with scrollwork, columns, and
an ornate top gallery. The center top portion displays the music box
dise behind a rectangular glass panel.
Measurements are: 7'4" high, 1'4" deep, and 3'3" wide. The music
box is coin operated by means of a nickel slot at the right side.
The instrument plays and has a nice tone. However, sometime during
its history someone "fixed" it with some non.original (or even
resembling original) parts in the governor and stop/start mechanism. As
a result this particular function does not work properly. Our suggestion
is to have a governor of the proper specification made. We were going
to ask $1995.00 for this box, but we are granting a S500 reduction
because of this internal work needed. This is really an over·allowance.
After fixing the parts - by either having us do it or doing it yourself ­
you should come out many dollars ahead. We might mention that the
music combs, tonality, and other features are fine and will not require
any work.
A value at just $14
