USSR Gramophone
Ran into this machine on OfferUp and it looks pretty neat. Anybody have one of these and can speak to how they are? The price is a little over $100 for it.

Re: USSR Gramophone
I'd snag it just for the novelty. Sound box says "Pathéphone xxxx..." can't see the second word but likely "soundbox" and it was made in Leningrad. Looks to be in nice condition!
Soviets called all gramophones "Pathephones", sort of like all fridges were "Frigidaires" when I was growing up.

Re: USSR Gramophone
I'd be cautious- any vocal records played on it will play back in Cyrillic!!
