It’s so sweet to have groovy curves when riding the curve of the groove!!!

Though Victrola Girl has indicated those curves can’t match hers.

Thanks Raphael for the new addition to the collection, the 1080 is one of my favorites. Also much thanks to Jukebox Joe for fixing the few little items that got knocked out of kilter from my transport.

Re: Groovy Curves
I agree, what an amazing line up of machines.
I am interested in all forms of audio media including: gramophones, phonographs, wire recorders, the tefifon, reel to reel tapes, radiograms and radios.

Re: Groovy Curves
The machine on the far left plays cylinders?

Re: Groovy Curves
It’s interesting that the 1909 and 1947 jukeboxes each play 24 records and yes, the Multiphone plays the cylinder type. Unfortunately that’s the one machine that can’t play, there’s no motor, no reproducer, and missing a lot of mechanisms. I got this at a fraction of what they go for, so I’m happy. I will be happier when I plant a Bluetooth speaker at the throat of its horn and crank out some Led Zep.

Re: Groovy Curves
Is the Variac in the video supplying the Wurlitzer? If so, what voltage is it adjusted for?

Re: Groovy Curves
The Wurlitzer 1080 was a family favorite here for years. We filled it with a combination of Latin music and 50's/60's favorites. We will miss it.

Re: Groovy Curves
Very nice lineup. I hope you can restore the Multiphone someday. A friend had one which he restored and it was an amazing mechanism to watch in operation. His used a Triton (Edison Triumph) motor. Just curious, since you are using a Variac, what is your average line voltage? 10-15 years ago we lived in Wellington, in Palm Beach County and our normal line voltage was 125-127 volts. One day something didn't seem right and I hooked up my meter and read 133 volts. That's when I shut down a bunch of electrical stuff and called the power company.
