Re: Featured Phonograph No. 127- Lauzon
This is fantastic! (You did a great job on the grill, Bill!)I'm really glad you were able to get it, and I hope you had a good time visiting Tennessee! I'm ecstatic someone on the forum was able to get it, I just wish I had the money at the time.
(It's amazing how a machine this nice ended up in Middle Tennessee.)
From the ad I'm assuming this is probably the nicest model they made, it say's "Nine models from $90-$400". So i'm guessing this could be their $400 dollar model. But that's just a guess. I've seen four or five of their other models and they aren't nearly half as nice as this one.

Re: Featured Phonograph No. 127- Lauzon
It's a real stunner! Congratulations on restoring and owning such an important machine. Thank you for adding it to the Featured Phonograph section. I'm frankly chagrined that more fine machines such as this are not added to the section.

If you have the opportunity, Bill, I'd love to hear how a diamond Disc would sound on it with the interesting weight design.

Re: Featured Phonograph No. 127- Lauzon
The only "before" pictures that I have were the pictures from the Craigslist ad. The major damage was to the grille, and there were many spots where it just needed minor touch up. After the touch up was done, I applied a light coat of semi-gloss lacquer. This gave the black lacquer sections a slight gloss and protected the touched up areas.The same with the grille.Valecnik wrote:Beautiful! I'd love to see some "before" pictures.

I loved that machine from the first post on the forum, and now that it's complete all I can say is wow... (I'm kicking myself that I didn't jump in the car and head to Tennessee to snag it...

I'm regretting I didn't have the money at the time, I wish I just took something to the pawnshop
I'm pretty jealous but really happy that someone on the forum got it. Sad I was only 30 minutes away and missed it.
