Foshay's Portable

Post by gunnarthefeisty »

Hi,
I recall a few years back someone had a VV 2-60 belonging to Wilbur Foshay.
I don't suppose that it's still floating around or the owner is still active on here, but if so please leave a reply!

Yes, I still have the Wilbur Foshay 2-60 and the record case that came with it. I'll re-post the photos from the original thread when I'm at home again.

Wow. I hadn't heard of Foshay before and have just read about him on WIKI. Very interesting indeed.

.. and what a lovely looking gramophone (and accessories). Is the gramophone covered in leather ?

Absolutely marvelous items to have.

It's the standard faux/imitation leather covering on the VV2-60, similar to Rexine.
