I was stripping down a beater Victrola XI for parts that i bought at a pawn shop for $50 a couple years ago in Westfield MA and my helper found a business card inside the unit that had "Nippers Choice" on it and Ken Woodbury as contact. I tried looking them up just to see if they were still around but didnt find anything, anyone heard of them?
Ever heard of Nippers Choice in NH?

Ken pictured in 2017 at the Brimfield antique show inside his trailer full of phonographs and records.

Unfortunately, Ken is not dealing with phonographs anymore. He has had some health issues and changes in his life. He was always a nice and enthusiastic collector and dealer and I miss being able to rummage through his massive collection of parts and machines and talk phonographs with him.

Sorry to hear he's feeling poorly. I'm impressed with his idea to make a rolling victrola store inside that trailer though! That looks like a lot of fun.

Ken, Always put Emerson stuff aside for me and would bring it to the Jersey Show, it is a good chance I purchased the Emerson machine that is like a Keen 0 Phone that I recently posted---as can anyone identify. Again, good person with that New England accent.

Used to check the big antiques shows for his trailer: I found some good stuff there.
