i still want to make a video about the crap-o-phone and kill it on video afterwards by either burning it, blowing it up, throwing it off of an high elevation or ritually drowning it(???! any other suggestions?)
sadly no one wants to give me one for free.. because i'll be damned if i @$#! pay for one!

Here are some pictures of some gramophones and Victrolas I bought here in Brazil, in the last 6 years.
These are some of them, have been in Brazil since new or long ago.

Nice collection, Andreas. Some nice radios there as well. That huge- horned Zon-O-Phone machine is really cool. If I ever wanted my wife to file for divorce, the hell with "cheating"... that's just more problems. That Zonophone is how I'd do it!

Hahaha, good! But my stench is still tolerant of new machines. I think it refers to the Zonophone with a 54-inch horn. right?

Yes, Zono... my bad. I have Columbia on the brain for some reason. :oops:

Yes, this is the biggest star in the collection, it's been with me for a few years and I can not get enough of looking at it.

That pedestal with the horn support arm is one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Wow, I've never seen anything like it anywhere. A great collection for sure.

There's already someone here at home marking territory to inherit my machines, especially the Zon-o-phone 1903!
