Six? I had that many in my college dormitory!
There are more than 6 in my garage. Here is a photo of what will be Victrola room one. Unfortunately for the last 16 months I have been working on other more important parts of the house. Some day soon I hope to have these unpacked from our move from Indiana and start playing some of them again. I don't need to play all of them but like to have them to study and just look at.

Wow Skihawx,

"Victrola room no. 1 looks like it will be fantastic once you've got it set up. Maybe when you get to that point you can post some more pics of the individual machines? I'm sure there would be a lot of interest here. Although it's a bit hard to tell, looks like you definitely have some exotic pieces!

Currently I have over 50 but space restrictions now mean I can have no more, sadly :(

That is unless I sell something first and 'upgrade'.

Out of the 50-odd, only 8 are floor-standing cabinet machines or pedestal type horn machines.
