Duo-Vox on Ebay

Hehehe...and people call EMG's ugly

Why Shane... who would ever call this ugly?

Just look at that profile!

I must admit, I do find these later EMG's a little ugly, but I'd probably put up with it for the awesome sound...maybe
I think if I had my pick of EMG's, I'd choose one of the early HMV 510 Lumiere pleated diaphagm convertions they did. I find the combination of upright cabinet, cabriole legs and that big "out there" horn more aesthetically pleasing than the top heavy look of the table models

I've rarely heard one of these but they're marvelous. I get the impression that even in their time it was more about sound than looks. The same situation held in the radio and High-Fidelity era when hobbyists were enraptured by boxes of industrial electronics linked together by cables- a True Believer would have no interest in a merely pretty cabinet.

I did have a nice looking Bush & Lane phonograph but a different top than the duo-vox . Bush & Lane wasn't limited to phonos only check out this radio that just listed on Ebay.

That's awesome!
Yes, it's a little bit ugly too, but good art deco usually is.
