The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Gene, to answer your ques- Are both large machines in the first photo 10-50's?

one is a 10-50, the other is a 9-55 that I had to add a radio to because the original one was missing. It was shown a while back on this forum. There is also a 10-69 in the back, the lighting wasn't great so it isn't too clear.

Steve, what can I write that has not already been written...???..... . I do have two questions though. Where is the Berliner "ratchet-wind" and is that a Berliner "hand-wind" on the shelf??.

I guess you are moving up! What a fantastic layout! Some beautiful pieces there.

Thank you for sharing those wonderful photos of your collection.

You have good eyes Wayne. The hand wind is a repro though. The ratchet wind is in another room awaiting re-assembly after the move. I'm just about unpacked but with working all day and unpacking at night, it has not gone as quickly as I like. Since this is my "retirement" home, I guess I have plenty of time to get it all done. I'm sure my neighbors wonder what is in the house with all the empty boxes I left outside for the movers to come and retrieve. That was a really good service the moving company supplied as part of the relocation pkg.
