PSYCHO-PHONE Phonograph

Post by Curt A »

I recently read an article about the Psycho Phone and what do you know, one showed up on eBay:

This one was owned by Norman Bates and came from the Bates Motel Collection in Vegas... :lol:

The machine actually looks kind of creepy... with the name tag hand painted by inmates of an insane asylum and no visible connection from the motor to the turntable.... :shock:

A fascinating machine but way overpriced - and I've never noticed just what a piece of rip-off crap the original was
