Description
Aeolian Sheridan World's Largest Phonograph, the president of the Aeolian Company had a mansion in Sarasota FL. It is told this machine came from Aeolian Hall which was the 3rd floor of the Aeolian Factory in New York. The third story had an 1100 seat theater and this was in the foyer until it was moved to his private residence in Sarasota FL. In 1924 George Gershwin played Rhapsody Blues for the first time with Paul Whiteman’s orchestra at Aeolian Hall. It is the world’s largest phonograph. This phonograph is in unrestored condition. All 10 original record albums are present which show heavy signs of wear. However, they are custom made for this machine and impossible to find if missing. There are 5 brown 10" Vocalion records, 1 black 10" Vocalion record and 1 Pathe record found amongst the albums, probably left from the original owner. Cabinet is in as-found condition with some scratches and flaws. The inlays on the cabinet are outstanding with no chips, missing parts or veneer separation. Comes with two extra reproducers (3 total) which were used for different tones and volume. There is actually a volume cord on the left corner that extends approximately 4' from the machine. This is a fabulous candidate for a total restoration!
