Lid on or Off?
I was just wondering, do you guys and gals store your phonographs with the lid on or off.

Re: Lid on or Off?
I display mine all with the lids off all over my house.. except my Amberolas....I always leave the lids down on those.
I figure if they get dusty, That's just more of a reason for me to play with them....oil/clean them...etc...

Unless the lid is a point of interest like a banner decal, I leave them hanging under the shelves. Each lid is identified as to which machine it is mated. Jerry
