The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Just finished rebuilding and installing the motor and reproducer for the VV-125. This is the test play and it sounds pretty good to me. Enjoy!

Nice!

Wish I didn't have to watch it in dribs and drabs, though, because of Google's wholesale destruction of YouTube…

Here's another drib.

This is truly a gorgeous piece. The sides and front panels of the cabinet match.

At least I was able to view that one in its entirety….

Shaping up very nicely!

I will second that motion.

It should be stunning when cleaned.

Nice machine, and nice trombone playing in the sound track. That can only be the great Jack Teagarden ("Big T")!

None other. Recorded live with Louis Armstrong's All Stars.

Thanks for that! What playback equipment are you using in the Infirmary clip? Sounds nice.

I can never hear too much T, or Adrian Rollini for that matter. Most of his bass sax solos I've heard are way too short, though!

Great machine, that is the acoustic model I would love to find. I have a 1923 VV-111.
