**************

This phonograph, the condition is very good, and the most rare thing is that it has been retained until now, the sound quality is quite good, and more importantly, this phonograph also uses special air pressure sound reinforcement technology, and the production is scarce.

Such a phonograph, as long as it can be brought back to China, it will definitely be the object of those collectors in China.

Now for 5,000 dollars, as long as you can get it back to China, you can get at least 50,000 dollars back when you change hands, which is a very good deal.

ordered 5,000 yuan on the spot and handed it to the old black, Evanle said that he would help him load the car, after all, such a large object, with Jin Muchen's current strength, although one person can take it, but it will inevitably be too shocking.

However, just when Jin Muchen was about to follow Evan to load the gramophone on the cart, another gramophone suddenly placed behind the gramophone attracted his attention.

This phonograph is much smaller than his one.

His Victor phonograph can be more than one meter high, while this gramophone is only more than 30 centimeters high, and there is a beautiful bronze gilt horn on it, and there are carvings on the edge of the horn.

It seems that the shape is the kind of large trumpet-shaped phonograph that was more popular in the twenties and thirties, but the condition of this phonograph is not as good as his.

It's not that there are a lot of bumps, it's just that it's covered with dust, it looks like it's been a long time since it's been used, and I don't know if it can still make a sound, maybe the previous owner didn't care much about the maintenance of this gramophone.

The most critical thing is. He was able to get through the cracks in the box where the phonograph was discharging the motor. I saw a yellow glow that seemed to leap out.

Jin Muchen felt very strange about the origin of this repeated light. It shouldn't be like this machine is glowing, but the things inside the machine are glowing.

So what's hidden in this gramophone?

He became more and more curious, and then stopped, and Evan saw that Jin Muchen was not in a hurry to leave, so he was not busy loading the car, but stopped and followed his line of sight.

immediately saw the machine, and then introduced it to Jin Muchen with a smile: "This phonograph." I just picked it up when I went to Miami last month, but the maintenance is not very good, some things in it are broken, I can't make a sound, and I haven't had time to fix it. How? Mr. Kim, are you interested in this gramophone? ”

Jin Muchen nodded: "Well, can Evan introduce me to this gramophone." ”

"Haha, no problem, this gramophone is from the American Columbia Company in 1936. A commemorative phonograph for the 11th Olympic Games in Berlin. Less than 300 units were produced that year, which is rare on the market now. If you look at the casing of the machine, there are also Olympic rings engraved on it, which represent peace. And here, you see, this is the carving of the Brandenburg Gate, which represents Berlin. Such a gramophone is now very sought-after on the market, to be honest, it may not be as good as the Victor gramophone in terms of playback sound quality, but because it has a very special historical significance, the price of this gramophone is higher. If it weren't for the poor maintenance of this gramophone by his previous owner, and the parts of the guide were broken, it would not have been in my hands now, but during this time, I have collected all the parts for repair, as long as these days have passed, when I have time, I plan to start repairing this phonograph, once it is repaired, this gramophone will be worth more money. ”

Evan pointed to the gramophone and introduced it to Jin Muchen, who nodded as he listened.

Evan is not lying, this gramophone should indeed be the Olympic commemorative model launched by Columbia that year, and it is precisely because of its historical background that this gramophone has extraordinary historical significance.

And such a gramophone is often the most sought after batch of products in this circle, but I didn't expect to encounter it today.

Less than 300 units were produced back then, and it may be even rarer to spread to the present, maybe this one is a unique product!

The phonograph began to circulate during the First World War and became famous all over the world, and during the period between the First World War and the Second World War, it developed to the peak of craftsmanship.

After World War II, because of the advent of cassette machines, it began to decline.

Therefore, the phonograph during this period is often the favorite type of collector's collection, not to mention that this phonograph is still a phonograph with special historical significance.

And after 1936, because of World War II, the Olympics were suspended twice, and I am afraid that since then, there has never been such a commemorative version of the gramophone.

In this way, the historical significance of this gramophone is even more different, maybe it is the only commemorative phonograph in the world specially launched for the Olympic Games, not to mention that there is something in his receiver that can emit an inexplicable yellow light.

Thinking of this, Jin Muchen had already made up his mind.

"Evan, how much does your gramophone cost?"

"But it's not fixed yet?"

Evan, the old black man, had a cunning light in his eyes at this time, and he asked this in order to test Jin Muchen's determination to this gramophone.

If he really wanted to buy it, then Evan definitely wouldn't mind stabbing Jin Muchen.

"It's okay, didn't you say that you have collected all the parts, you give me the parts together, and I will go home and repair it myself."

Jin Muchen didn't even look at Evan, his eyes were still focused on the gramophone and said, and when Evan heard such an answer, his heart jumped wildly, and he finally took a deep breath and calmed down.

"Mr. Kim, this phonograph, although it is not as good as the previous Victor phonograph, but I also told you before that it is an Olympic commemorative phonograph, and it is also the only Olympic commemorative phonograph in the world. The current stock is very scarce, so although it is in a dilapidated state, the price will still be higher than the previous Victor phonograph, if not much higher. ”

Jin Muchen waved his hand very casually, no matter how high it is, how high can it go? Could it be that it can be higher than the precious jewels that Lao Tzu collected from Darren?

"Well, since Mr. Jin is so sincere, then I can't help but cut my love, so let's do it, 20,000 US dollars."

Evan trembled and quoted a price, this is the most expensive thing he has asked for since he set up a stall, whether it can be sold or not, it all depends on the young man in front of him.

Jin Muchen turned his head and glanced at Evan, Evan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat, but soon the smile on Jin Muchen's face made him feel relieved.

Two big hands of different skin tones clasped tightly: "Deal!" ”

20,000 yuan was given to Evan, and Evan was busy helping Jin Muchen install the two phonographs into the back bucket of the F150 they drove, and then fix them.

Fortunately, they drove a pickup truck, and the space in the back was definitely not a problem.

After harvesting two gramophones, Jin Muchen didn't have the heart to continue shopping here, so he directly drove Candace back to his shop.

Uncle Fang was also a little surprised when he saw that the two of them came back so quickly, and they also pulled back such two large items.

However, after moving the two gramophones back to the store with Jin Muchen, looking at the Victor phonograph, Fang Bo was also interested.

"I really didn't expect that you would go out and get back such two big guys, this one looks pretty good. I'll see, it's still Victor's, haha, it's okay, I just have a friend who likes things the most, and I'll call him to see it when the time comes. Hey, you'll be ...... later."

Fang Bo and Jin Muchen stood in front of the gramophone together, admiring this big guy, while admiring the big guy, he suddenly remembered something, and then trotted all the way upstairs, and quickly took out a stack of vinyl records from upstairs.

Then he went to the gramophone, cranked the handle with his hand, charged the battery, and then took out a vinyl record and put it on the turntable......

"Night @ sea, night @ sea, you are a city that never sleeps......"

The melodious music sounded in the speaker of the gramophone, and when he heard the old song of Shang@hai in the twenties and thirties of the last century, Jin Muchen was also stunned, but he didn't expect that Fang Bo still had such a record in his hand.

"Haha, I've been collecting this record for many years, and I'm worried about not having the opportunity to put it......"

Fang Bo stood in front of the machine with a smile, looking at this Victor phonograph, as if he had gotten a new toy.

Candace listened downstairs for a while, and there was no business anyway, so he went upstairs to prepare lunch, while Jin Muchen held a tie and a Columbia phonograph and went straight upstairs to his studio.

The gramophone was broken, but Evan gave him all the parts that needed to be replaced, and before they left, he opened the receiver and told him where he needed to be replaced and where he needed to be maintained.

Jin Muchen planned to go upstairs and take a look at the gramophone first, the most important thing was that he wanted to find out where that yellow light came from.

When Evan opened the receiver before, he didn't see anything.

He had a study on the fourth floor, but when he and Candace moved to the sunroom on the fifth floor, it was converted into a studio by him.

It's really hard for that Evan, I don't know where he found these brass parts, probably from other dilapidated gramophone factories, Jin Muchen looked at the parts in his hand, and then opened the phonograph casing.

He first carefully inspected the damaged part of Evan's complaint, but did not rush to repair it, but began to look around inside the receiver. (To be continued......)
