Let's see your best tiger oak grained cabinets!

Hate to break it to you Jerry... but that's Rasputin.

With all due modesty, how could anyone top my Winking Jesus Record Cabinet?

Jerry Blais

Jerry you really need to get those eyes checked. That cabinet is clearly winking John Lennon!

[Jerry B.]

What fun. Jerry

Well I can't compete with Winking Jesus (or John Lennon), but here are a couple of nice oak cabinets. One is a Columbia machine I bought many years ago. It is so nice looking I have never been able to let it go.

This one is an odd grandfather clock phonograph, but I have always liked the oak on the clock face.

Love that clock phono Dan! What brand?

Oh and how could I forget this one in my office?

Love that clock phono Dan! What brand?

It is a Ko-Hi-Ola from your home state of Minnesota made in Saint Paul. Very strange and an OK player though getting to the tone arm and reproducer is awkward so I have never rebuilt the reproducer and it needs it.

Here is an image I found online from a 1916 magazine. It is the only ad for this brand I have ever seen and I am surprised it is that old. I would have suspected the 1920s.

"Jesus" Jerry, that's a Beautiful Cabinet!

Here is my Amberola-1A, A nicely tigered Victor D, and a "Not-Oak" XVI, ("Not-Sorry").

Cheers, Bob S.

I went thru my photo files and found a pic of a Beautiful Oak XVI which Jerry Blais sold a while ago.

Some beautiful Oak on display. Here are a couple of mine. Even the back side of the Oak 130 is nice.
