Re: Anchors Aweigh!!- or, follow-up on 9-55 restoration
Once I picked up a phonograph from a radio collector. He had a wall covered with tabletop Art Deco style radios on shelves. I asked him, do they work? He said they could be made to work. He said he buys them for their appearance. That makes sense- collect them like stamps. Who wants to listen to an AM radio anyway. I never play my phonos even when they work. The Dual 1019 is for playing 78s. I have a 7-26 which I had restored and am trying to sell but no one even calls.

Well, if you were in the UK I would be calling you if it was the machine pictured.

And if S-B-H took the machine you would not need that rug pictured in the lower part of the picture. I'd probably take it off your hands. Looks very nice. Turkomen?Swing Band Heaven wrote:Well, if you were in the UK I would be calling you if it was the machine pictured.

Those 7-26's were too reliable and too many are around. They do
sound pretty good if you happen to have the -A version with the
dynamic speaker. Otherwise a bit tinny. And there were a fair number
made.
