This Brunswick Seville is a remarkable machine for many reasons. Firstly, it plays both acoustic and electrically-recorded records with equal fidelity, making it versatile (almost any 78rpm record can be played on this with very good results, from 1900-1950). The horn is made of wood, which looks and sounds gorgeous, even though it is hidden most of the time by an even more beautiful grille. It is quite small–about the size of a large end table–and yet has surprisingly full sound! This little machine can fill a large room with music of a surprisingly crisp and clean quality.

This Brunswick Seville Panatrope dates to around 1925-1926 and was designed to play electrically-recorded records that were just introduced at that time. It has a much wider frequency range, owing mostly from its fresh reproducer design, which uses an aluminum diaphragm and ball bearings for sensitivity. Note the very long, curving tonearm, which lengthens the effective horn length in a relatively small cabinet.

The two spring motor plays 2 or more records without needing wound. The motor has been lubed and adjusted and plays very well. Speed control knob works easily, motor runs smoothly and nearly silently. Semi-automatic brake works well.

The mahogany cabinet has its original finish in very good condition. Included with this item is a photo of the original owner (taken in the 1950s). According to family members that I purchased the machine from, their grandmother (pictured) originally bought this machine new in 1920s Oklahoma.

For an exceptionally well-preserved and well-performing machine that can be played with ease and take up little room, look no further than this fantastic Brunswick Seville.
