That does it. I'm flushing all the tea in the house down the crapper TODAY.soundgen wrote:soundgen wrote:Must be the world's first crapophone ! the Emperor has no clothes ! And who would want nipper salt and peppers anyway ?
lots of crapohones are made with original parts , they are still crapohones ! and a Victrola VI is foreign to me 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 !
And... you'll get an identical one built? Today? Over there?
Hope it holds together better than your empire did...

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

Drat! I was "close," guessing a VV-IV!Jerry B. wrote:Sorry for the delay. James, I wanted to double check the hundreds of entries for accuracy. OK, actually there were 22 entries with suggestions ranging from a Silvertone to a Columbia Harmony. A Sonora was mentioned a couple of times.
The winner is:
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.Hi Jerry,
My guess is this is the Victrola VI dressed up in a fancy case. Sure looks nice!
Regards,
Glenn
Thanks everyone for their entries. Jerry Blais

Get over it, people! It is original, it's an original Victrola VI sitting inside of an awesome custom cabinet.
