I made a post card showing how I display my Sonora Invincible in my living room. My home was built around 1910.
How do you store and display your collections?

Fantastic Sonora-love the vintage style postcard. These pieces look great in a period setting...

That's quite a machine. I like that it is the only thing in color.

Re: How do you store and display your collections?
Thru the years I have owned many machines, but as all collectors, I have evolved.
When I started I focused on Victrolas, which were all that I could afford. Next I went to Union and started collecting Edison cylinder players and Indestructible Cylinders. Then open horn Victors, I thru VI. But, in the last few years, due to my wifes urging, I have downsized to smaller machines. So far I am very pleased with the direction my collection has gone, and hope to enjoy the fruits of my labors for years to come.
Cheers, Bob S.
(By the way, I still have kept my favorite Victrola)

A very nice display of Berliner, Zonophone, and early Victor machines! That's a long way from Victrolas, Bob - congratulations!

Y’all have convinced me I need to build some nice shelves to go around my extra room...which means I’ll need to buy more machines to place on the shelves!!!

I think your Victrola might be possessed by a demon: have you called an exorcist?Zwebie wrote:Thru the years I have owned many machines, but as all collectors, I have evolved.
