The indoctrination begins early, doesn't it?? Once it's in your blood, it's hard to shake loose... :rose:

My nieces and nephews are going to become iPod collectors one of these days. <sigh>

My son is 10mo and when I play my 78s he dances around. It warms my heart. I hope he appreciates them when he gets over as I am developing quite the little collection.

I too had one of these when I was a child. In later years I took it apart to see how it worked...

Of course, this is from before my time... but I have always had both vintage phonographs and most things Disney in my blood from the time I was old enough to realize they existed.

What I would give to have my hands on this sweet item. It sold at auction in 2008 for $6325.00, and is considered to be possibly the only one known to still exist. :rose:
