lots of crapohones are made with original parts , they are still crapohones ! and a Victrola VI is foreign to me :lol: and why would any one want a bastardized machine if they were a collector ? we can all make and I have done so many times made attractive machines for display and theater props etc but they are not original or collectable , send me your Victrola VI and I'll get it made into an identical machine for you !
That does it. I'm flushing all the tea in the house down the crapper TODAY. :evil: :evil:

And... you'll get an identical one built? Today? Over there?

Hope it holds together better than your empire did... :P

Oh, this may be of great historical significance. Maybe. It could be an undiscovered William Plummer gramophone cabinet ? Imagine that !!!

Hi Jerry,

My guess is this is the Victrola VI dressed up in a fancy case. Sure looks nice!

Damfino59's entry was received at 9:24am today. That was 23 minutes before Emerson's entry which also suggested a Victrola VI. So sorry Emerson. Glenn, if you will forward your address I'll get your very valuable prize headed your direction.

Thanks everyone for their entries. Jerry Blais
