That's a PAL portable marketed through upscale department stores. Wonderful machines, absolutely top- tier. I'd love to find another one.

A Columbia BS and GEM Roller Organ on a built-in bookcase. The dining room has a Vic 6 on matching cabinet and a small mahogany Reginaphone console in two corners. The rest is upstairs where I've taken over the entire loft and one bedroom - kinda crazy?

None in the living room, but two Edison Triumphs and an Edison Standard in the spare bedroom/music room.

Nothing "so called" about it, those are all very nice machines!OrthoFan wrote: Mon Feb 17, 2025 12:39 pm My so-called "collection" consists of three models --
A Victor V
A Victor VV-4-40 (missing it's leg stretcher)
A non-branded Paillard portable
They're all in my living room.
Really not much, but there's no room for anything else...

Re: How many machines are in your living room?
I have a Columbia desk model with the pull out record player, a Victrola IX and a Victrola XIV, an Edison Amberola 50 and a Edison Amberola VIII A Edison F home with a cygnet wood horn and finally a Edison standard F with an oak painted cygnet horn . I had to take my Edison home C out with a cygnet horn last month after my daughter re did the living room. It ended up in my bedroom. I think she wanted to tone it down a little. I may have to take one of the ambrolas out too she crowded it up. The Victrola XIV though is in the adjacent dining room though.

Re: How many machines are in your living room?
i used to have my amberola 30 in the living room, but moved it into my room about year ago. at a few flea markets, I've seen furniture-sized victrolas and gramophones for a really great price. if i ever get one of those, i think it'll have to stay downstairs, no way i can carry it up

In the living room is an Edison A250, Edison Triumph Model B with 2/4 minute conversion and with 11 panel Cygnet horn and a Capehart 400M Deluxe Chippendale for 78's.
The Triumph has a Diamond B reproducer for Blue Amberols, a Model N for wax Amberols and a model N I fitted with a two minute stylus for two minute records.
