I'd be interested in knowing the serial number of your B-275. Would you please check that for me?

Thanks,

George P.

Thanks for the extra photos----wow!

Whenever you get to it, it would be neat to see more of that custom Victrola. So you're saying that the the entire top opens in 3 individual sections? Is it safe to say that this is the only example of such a machine out there?

The Fischer phono cabinet looks much like something from the Sonora line---especially in the way an otherwise square lid meets up with the flared, bulbous front.

Who is the maker of the piano-cased phono? I know that there were several different ones over the years.

Here are more pics of the custom Victrola in various poses.

The piano cased phono is a Fern-o grand that I picked up a couple of months ago.

Pardon my ignorance but which phono is the B-275? If you are refering to the one beside the C-250 that is an Edison L-19 (louis XIV) # L-19-1005. If this is not the one you mean let me know and help me learn something new!! :D Ed

I live in NE, NC, or as we like to call it "The Twilight Zone", at least an hour from any big city! Hope your airline has parachutes!! :D

I believe Goerge was referring to the Edison B-275 that the (electrified?) Zonophone is sitting on.

Never heard it referred to by that number. It is an EDison SI-19 # 1556. Hope that helps. Ed
