This is a video of my small collection of antique phonographs. It's not much, but I like them.

Paul, it's obvious that you fully appreciate your phonographs, and that you put some thought into what you have in your collection. It's a sensible grouping of nice phonographs, and representative of the major record formats. Congratulations, and keep enjoying them for many, many years. :)

Thanks for the comments but the irony is that aside from my tinfoil collection, which I do recognize is pretty exciting (I never dreamed I could ever own so many!), I don't consider my collection all that interesting compared to others I've seen.

I think it all comes down to familiarity. I live with these every day. As excited as I am with every new acquisition, after a while they become ordinary.

I look at other pictures in this thread with undisguised lust. Wow. So many machines I would kill for!

But the thrill of the hunt is always more exciting than the final conquest. ;)

Not that I would ever want to part with anything I have. I may be used to seeing them but I definitely enjoy them all.

I came across this image today searching for something else. It has the same backdrop with a different arrangement.

It's funny that they face each other.

Thank You George P. and Roaring20s.

Paul

By the way: I figured out how to post my video on here, instead of just the link. I had to do YouTubeHD.

Rene, thank you so much for sharing your amazing collection. I know we had some rooms of phono heaven shown here, but now we've seen a few more. WOW does not even come close!

I would also like to thank you for reviving my favorite thread on the form!

Paul, thanks for sharing your collection as well. You have very nice machines in great condition and the important thing is that you enjoy and preserve them.

Andreas
