We've seen plenty of empty machines turned into cocktail bars, has anyone ever seen this?

I would like that (if it weren't a rare and desirable grille).

As a lover of antique homes and phonographs, my response is negative. It doesn't make any sense as a decoration and it really repulsive as a waisted phonograph grill.

It should be pointed out that it isn't an actual phonograph grille. There are subtle differences if you look closely.

It’s pretty darn close. Maybe the designers at Edison got the idea from the homes at the time.

That's right up my street (if you'll pardon the almost-pun), I love it! I have parts of broken gramophones made into various things around the house, or waiting to be. If I lived there I'd be broadcasting to the neighbourhood out of that aperture!
