Columbia - 202 Gramophone

This piece is a true gem of acoustic engineering from the early 20th century: a *Gramola Columbia Viva-Tonal, model 202*, manufactured in 1930. Its impeccable condition makes it an exceptional example for both collectors and enthusiasts of sound history.

This portable model retains all the original elements: the hinged lid reveals a *blue felt platter*, a *chromed phono arm* with needle, and a *front crank* for manual operation. Inside the lid, the Columbia logo is visible, a testament to its origin and prestige.

Viva-Tonal technology was an innovation by Columbia that offered a richer and clearer sound reproduction, even in acoustic recordings. Its sturdy and elegant design, with metallic finishes and functional details, reflects the refined industrial style of the era.

This gramophone is not only a music playback device but also a historical object that encapsulates the spirit of an era when music began to travel with people. Its perfect preservation further enhances its cultural value.
A batch of original needles is added.
