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

This phonograph has a very good quality, and the most rare thing is that it has been preserved until now, and the sound quality is quite good. What's more, this phonograph also uses special air pressure sound reinforcing technology and has a rare output.

As long as such a phonograph can be brought back to China, it will definitely be the target of domestic collectors' pursuit.

Now, if you want 5,000 US dollars, as long as you can get it back to China, you can get at least 50,000 US dollars after you change your hands. This is a very cost-effective transaction.

He ordered five thousand yuan on the spot and handed it to the old man. Evan happily expressed his desire to help him load the car. After all, with Jin Muchen's current strength, although he could take it alone, it was inevitable that it would be too shocking.

However, just when Jin Muchen was planning to install the phonograph onto a small cart with Evan, another phonograph suddenly placed behind the phonograph attracted his attention.

This phonograph is much smaller in size than his.

His Victor phonophone is more than one meter high, while this phonophone is only more than 30 cm high, and there is also a beautiful copper gilt speaker on it, with carvings on the edge of the speaker.

It looks like the shape is the horn-shaped phonograph that was more popular in the 1920s and 1930s, but the quality of this phonograph is not as good as his.

There are not many signs of bumps, but the surface is covered with dust. It seems that it has not been used for a long time. I don’t know if I can still make a sound. Maybe the previous owner was not very concerned about the maintenance of this phonograph.

The most important thing is that he can see a yellow light that seems to be about to leaps out from the gap in the box of the phonograph discharger.

Jin Muchen felt very strange about this shiny background. It should not be like this machine that glowed, but the things inside the machine were glowing.

So what exactly is hidden in this phonograph?

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

I immediately saw the machine, and then smiled and introduced to Jin Muchen: "This phonograph was just collected when I went to Miami last month. However, it was not well maintained. Some things inside were broken and I couldn't make a sound. I didn't have time to repair it. What? Mr. Jin, are you very interested in this phonograph?"

Jin Muchen nodded: "Well. Can Evan introduce me to this phonograph?"

"Haha, no problem, this phonograph was a commemorative phonograph launched by Columbia, the United States, in 1936, specifically for the 11th Berlin Olympics. In that year, less than 300 units were produced, and it is rare on the market now. You see, the receiver of the machine is also engraved with the Olympic Fifth Rings representing peace. And here, you see, this is the carving of the Brandenburg Gate, which represents Berlin. Such a phonograph is very popular on the market now. To be honest, its playback sound quality can be

It is indeed not as good as the Victor phonograph, but because it has very special historical significance, the price of this phonograph is even higher. If it weren't for the poor maintenance of his previous owner and the parts were damaged, it wouldn't have been in my hands now. However, during this period, I have collected all the repaired parts, and after these few days, I will start to repair this phonograph. Once it is repaired, this phonograph will be worth more money."

Evan pointed to the phonograph and introduced to Jin Muchen. Jin Muchen nodded while listening.

Evan did not lie. This phonograph should indeed be an Olympic commemorative model launched by Columbia that year. It is precisely because of its historical background that this phonograph has extraordinary historical significance.

Such phonographs are often one of the most popular products in this circle, but I didn’t expect that I could actually meet them today.

In the past, less than 300 units were produced. It has been circulated to this day. It may be even more rare. Maybe this one is an isolated product!

The phonograph began to spread during World War I and became famous all over the world. During the period from World War I to World War II, it developed to the peak of craftsmanship.

After World War II, the cassette machine began to decline due to the appearance of the camera.

Therefore, phonographs during this period are often the favorite collections of collectors, not to mention that this phonograph with special historical significance.

Moreover, after 1936, due to World War II, the Olympic Games were suspended for two sessions. I am afraid that since then, there will never be such a commemorative version of the phonograph.

In this way, the historical significance represented by this phonograph is even more unique. Maybe it is the only commemorative phonograph in the world specially launched for the Olympics, not to mention that there is something in its receiver that can emit inexplicable yellow light.

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

"Evan, how much does this phonograph cost?"

"But it hasn't been fixed yet?"

The old black man Evan's eyes were filled with cunning light at this time. He asked this to test Jin Muchen's determination to this phonograph.

If he really wants to buy it, Evan definitely doesn't mind killing Jin Muchen with a harsh knife.

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

Jin Muchen didn't even look at Evan, and his eyes were still focused on the phonograph. When Evan heard such an answer, his heart was beating wildly. He finally took a deep breath to calm down.

"Mr. Jin, although this phonograph is not as good as the previous Victor phonograph, I told you before that it is an Olympic commemorative phonograph and the only Olympic commemorative phonograph in the world. The number of existences in the world is very rare, so although it is now damaged, the price is still higher than the previous Victor phonograph, or even much higher."

Jin Muchen waved his hand casually. How high can he be? Could it be higher than where I collected those precious jewelry from Darren?

"Okay, since you are so sincere, I can't help but give up. That's it, 20,000 US dollars."

Evan trembledly quoted a price. This is the most expensive thing he has ever set up a stall. Whether it can be sold depends entirely on the young man in front of him.

Jin Muchen turned his head and looked 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 colors tightly held them: "Document!"

Evan was given 20,000 yuan. Evan hurriedly helped Jin Muchen install the two phonographs into the 150 rear bucket they drove, and then fixed them.

Fortunately, they drove a pickup truck, so the space behind was definitely not a problem.

After harvesting two phonographs, Jin Muchen had no intention of continuing to stroll here and took Candice back to his store.

When Uncle Fang saw that the two of them were back so soon and they brought back such two large items, he was also a little surprised.

However, when he moved the two phonographs back to the store with Jin Muchen, Fang Bo was also interested when he looked at the Victor phonograph.

"I really didn't expect that when you went out, you actually got two big guys back. This one looks pretty good. Let's see, it's still Victor's brand, haha, it's all right now. I've had a friend who likes things the most. I'll call him to check it out. Oh, you can wait..."

Fang Bo and Jin Muchen stood in front of the phonograph together, admiring the big guy, and said, suddenly thinking about something, then trotted upstairs all the way upstairs and quickly took out a stack of vinyl records from the upstairs.

Then I came to the phonograph, shaking the handle with my hand to store electricity for the battery, then took out a vinyl record and put it on the turntable...

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

Melodious music sounded from the speaker of the phonograph. Jin Muchen was also stunned when he heard the old Shanghai songs from the 1920s and 1930s. Unexpectedly, Fang Bo had such a record in his hand.

"Haha, I have been collecting this record for many years, and I am worried that there is no machine to play it..."

Fang Bo stood in front of the machine with a laugh and looked at the Victor phonograph, as if he had obtained a new toy.

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

The phonograph was broken, but Evan handed him all the parts that needed to be replaced, and before they left, they deliberately opened the receiver and told him where to replace and where to maintain it.

Jin Muchen planned to go upstairs and take a look at the phonograph. The most important thing is that he wants to find out where the ray of yellow light came from.

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

He had a study on the fourth floor, but after he and Candice moved to the sunroom on the fifth floor, he changed the studio directly into.

It was really hard for Evan. He didn't know where the brass parts he found were probably removed from other worn phonograph factories. Jin Muchen looked at the parts in his hand and then opened the receiver of the phonograph.
