The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Dang!

That would look great in my living room. I decorated the whole thing in late 1980's "Packing Crate" style. Even the color matches! $100 you say?

Wow, even comes with a genuine vinyl record! I hope it was done years ago, as earlier stated, by someone who couldn't do better and salvaged parts to just have some music. Kills me when these machines make it through all these years only to be someones "creative project in shabby chic".

I think it's the work of someone who gutted the case for some reason and decided to cobble together the removed pieces into a working machine. I suppose I'd have to give them credit for not just tossing them in the dump.

There's nothing a little furniture polish wouldn't spruce up. I think my wife would love it!

Hmm..........well..........bonfire anyone , put a blindfold on me, tie up one of my arms and cut off 4 of my fingers then i may be able to fix it up a little!

Beauty is in the eye of the beer-holder!

Or as my mom likes to say "To each his own, said the old lady as she kissed the cow"

Looks like they may have torn down a perfectly good outhouse to make that case.

I hope it was young kids who put it together. They may have felt really sophisticated having it in their club house.
I'd also like the phone number for that old lady who kissed the cow if it's still available.

I think its neat the way it is.
