The BG was introduced in 1905 at a price of $50 with a 14″ all brass horn. It had the extra long mandrel designed to play the new 20th century six inch cylinders designed to play for 3 minutes. The BGT was introduced in 1907, the same machine with a rear mount tone arm and a 9 panel nickel plated horn at a price of $65. In 1908 this one was offered with a mahogany “symphony horn” at an additional $5 or a spruce music master horn as featured here for an additional $10.
