The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

WOW!!! Congrats on the great score!! Please keep us all posted on how it cleans up.
I might have the correct round hole reproducer if you are looking for one.

That has to be the best score I've ever heard about. And actually going to a young collector too & not some antique picker.

Who needs to go to Union?

That is truly one for the books. Earl Scruggs' spruce horn Victor VI...for $450. Awesome.

I may have to head up to Nashville for my phono hunting

Seriously though, nice find!

Unbelievable! Please tell me that you didn't dicker on the price. At that price, when this rare occurance happens, you pay and get it to your car as soon as you can then you pinch yourself to make sure your not dreaming.

I would be getting up in the middle of the night, more than once, just to make sure it was still there and to admire it.

That is SO FUNNY! I did that with a player piano I got when I was a kid. My Dad hated pianos and I really thought he bought it as a joke and was going to turn right around and sell the thing.

That's a great find of course. It's amazing how things turn up now and again, and it's really nice when it gets into the right hands. Good luck with the restoration!

Playing it cool at the sale, goes something like this...

Nope! I happily paid their $450!!
Thanks everyone for the replies.

Did Earl Scruggs die? Nice machines Nick!
