The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

You know you're an antique when your grandkids have no concept what rewind means...

EVEN IVE SEEN SOME OF MY OLD TOYS IN MUSEUMS!!!!!!!!!!, i went to york castle museum and in the toy museum section i just went round saying "i had that...oh that was fun etc", and you know!, they had that old tat but not one gramophone:shock:............ but the 60s section with the jukebox made up for that

You know you're an antique when... things like Imodium, Tums, and Tylenol are on your pre phono trip check list. Jerry Blais

I felt a little old this year when they retired the last space shuttle. I helped design parts of them.

Young squirt!

And sometimes I feel like plain old junk...

Fortunately, I am "vintage" according to this definition. Joking aside, in musical instrument trade, in order to be called "vintage," one has to have all parts original in working condition..........

Let's me out! I've got more creaks and repair bits than my old F250. But we both keep on going somehow. Victors were made better!

You know you're an antique when... you need the young muscle guys (employees that help set up and take down the show) to help load a Victrola at Union. Yes, you need to tip them. Jerry Blais
