    The Player-Tone Type 14 phonograph is a large floor model mechanical phonograph capable of playing both lateral and vertical groove disc records.The storage cabinet features multiple storage shelves which providing ample space to stack records. The top has a 12 inch green felt table, with an automatic shutoff switch and manual lock lever. On the right side is a sound dampener, a more important feature for machines without the solid horn doors acting as a volume control. There are also 4 needle cups, one for soft, medium, loud, and used tone needles. The 'Heineman No.77' double spring motor will easily play a full record (front and back) before needing rewound. The sound is produced by a mica diaphragm and amplified through an internal wood horn.
