The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I loved playing with my Grandma’s Victrola, especially her copies of Easter Parade and Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition. I’m grateful my Grandpa let me keep them; he just turned 88 this month and is doing well.

So far I’ve picked up an Edison Standard B, Columbia BE, Edison Fireside A, Edison Amberola DX, Brunswick Panatrope, and my Victrola XVI. hoping to add more soon if space allows
