I am wondering if you can tell me the value of a Mason and Risch phonograph style 175? If not, can you recommend a contact?

Hello Joyce!
The value of any phonograph depends on whether or not it needs parts or a tune up in order for it to work. If your phonograph is in good working order, then I would say it should fetch about $500.00 or more possibly. A good resource also is the Victor Talking Machine Forum-you will need to register to ask your question. The link is below, and good luck!
