I am truly humbled by seeing the items in other folks' collection.

Thank you.
Hailey, you have some wonderful things as well. Thanks for sharing them.

It's not easy to follow up on such awesome collections. I fall more into the category of new collector when every new find is exciting. I have a corner in the finished basement for display and some more machines are spread throughout the house.

Thanks Gene! My main interest is bringing machines back to life, fixing them etc. Therefore I will probably never end up with a high end collection of pristine machines. Even my simple and common machines I don't like parting with, because I put so much heart blood into them.

Looking forward to seeing you in Wayne next month.

Hi Guys!

I just want to shout out a big Thank You to all the members who have posted on where's Waldo. It's amazing to see the Quantity and Quality of the machines displayed!

In an effort to keep a happy marriage, my wife has limited my display to one room. It works well for me, because the front living room is one of the largest rooms in the house. Extra phonographs are relegated to storage in the spare room, and are periodically rotated through the display.

Let's keep the great pictures coming, Bob S.

Bob/Leo,
Great pictures of two very nice collections.
Bob, The Amberola I is one of my favorites.
I hope to own one some day.
Is that a Columbia Grand tucked in next to the Opera?
I'd love to see some pictures of it.
Thanks to both of you for posting!
Gene

Bob and Leo,

thanks for posting your pics. So many nice machines..

Bob, I love your display cabinet with all the Zon-o-phone, Victor and Berliner front mounts. These brass horns look awesome.
