Merry Chistmas 2025

Post by ColoradoPhonograf »

My brother is moving 1000 miles closer to us. He rolled in to town and we had a nice Christmas Eve. After eggnog we heard Santa rattling the rooftop so we sent my brother off to bed. This morning I noticed something under the the tree for him and his new home. A Columbia AH front mount and other antiques for decor at the new house. Nipper was quite festive for the Christmas season. I know it's not a Victor product. Just had to wing it.
Happy Holidays to all.

Great photo! Nipper looks right at home listening to that Columbia front mount machine. :D

There is nothing shameful about giving a Columbia product, as opposed to Victor. My AH is one of my favorite machines with one of the nicest styled cabinets...
