The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

You're welcome! You've seen my YouTube vids, right? You can see my Credenza in many and see that the grain closely matches that of your machine (very "ribbony" a new word - )

I've owned three Walnut Credenzas, and for some reason just two mahogany ones over the years. I'll never part with the one I have now. I bought it from its original owner, straight out of her living room (she was in her early 90s at the time and moving to an assisted living facility) in 1998. It's gorgeous and, lucky me, it had a stunning mint brass reproducer with it that Frank Tucker rebuilt for me. It will peel the paint off the walls if you use a loud tone needle. This might come in handy over the next few months as I prep for a house-wide repaint!

Beautiful machine, beautiful sound. I love that "If I had a moving picture" number.

Thanks alot for posting!

Sean just be careful when you mention the word paint when you are near the Credenza. Seems to me that phonographs have a paint splatter magnet in their innards somewhere, at least judging by the number of ones I've bought that are invariably splattered with some shade of paint!! -Steve

Yea, tell me about it! I've spent hours popping little paint specks off cabinets I've cleaned up. They really DO seem to be attracted to phonograph cabinets, don't they? Don't worry, each room is going to be emptied of phonographs before any painting is done...

Folks,

Since the next Featured Phonograph is going to be up for Victor Day I think another nice Orthophonic should be featured HINT, HINT. So one of you folks with neat Ortho-get it ready and share it for Victor Week!

John
