It is believed that all items whose "age" has exceeded 50 years, and their value has only grown from this, are antiques. The gramophone can be safely attributed to this category. This means that you can buy a gramophone where they sell antiques.
Breakdowns, sites, shops
You can buy a gramophone in various places. For example, in specialized stores selling antiques. Or at the "ruins" - unofficially designated for trade places where people sell household items, books, records, musical instruments. As a rule, both ordinary residents of the city and professionals, for whom the sale of antiques is a way to make a living, can be found at the "ruins". If you see such a person, and you still haven't found the antiques you need, then you can make an order for a gramophone, having discussed the price in advance.
The second way to buy a gramophone is to look for it on specialized antique sites, because the sale of antiques via the Internet has become popular. The advantage of this method is that antique dealers from different cities and countries are collected on these resources, which allows you to significantly expand the range of search. Also, antique gizmos sometimes come across on message boards - you can look for a gramophone there, or place an application for purchase.
The third method is the longest and most unreliable. You can travel to abandoned villages, offering local residents to sell the thing you need (by the way, this is how antique dealers often replenish their collections). Perhaps someone has a gramophone from the last century. If there are no residents left in the village, no one forbids you to go into the houses and look for what you need. But still the last option, as they say, is on the verge of the law.
And one more thing: such a thing as a gramophone of the 30s belongs to the fashionable direction "vintage", so try to look for it in art studios or establishments in the "retro" style. There, such things are used as props or to decorate the interior. Perhaps they will sell you a gramophone there.
Beware of counterfeits
Antique counterfeiting is a long-standing way of getting rich for crooks. It is difficult for a non-specialist to distinguish antiques from "remakes" (this is how antiquaries contemptuously call things created on the basis of old ones, but using modern technologies and materials). And the cost of things that came to us from the past is much higher than the price of what is produced now. However, the scammers sell the "remake" at the price of antiques, hoping that their scams will remain unsolved. And this price is usually quite high. In order not to spend money on a fake, ask to take the gramophone for examination, but choose an expert yourself. This is the only way you can get a really antique thing.
