"If a common version of this phonograph model with a simple horn (if an outside-horn model) was purchased back sometime during its original production period, used for many years, perhaps stored away, perhaps refurbished, but clearly in good working order – in 1997 U.S. dollars, what would it generally be worth?"N.B.: If the phonograph has a wood horn – add $500. If the phonograph has a cygnet horn – add $200.
