Day One for Our Grandson
I probably shouldn't call this "Day One" because Henry has been exposed to many antique phonographs over the past year or so (his favorite is a Victrola Credenza). But today, he got to wind up a VV-IV, lower the needle (that poor record), and open/close the doors to his heart's content. We had to play a few different records, but I was surprised in how interested a 2 year-old would be in how it WORKS. I made the mistake of removing the turntable, and once he spotted the moving governor weights below, he was on fire. We played with this thing for about 45 minutes, which - as any parent/grandparent of a 2 year-old will tell you - is a long, long time. He may be hooked.

Maybe he will actually find the band and solve the mystery. Love the photo George. He is our future!
