Good one!

I've got a better one; I'm going to design one with a gramophone, cylinder player/recorder, mechanical scanning disc television and dual vacuum tube wireless receivers (one for the 'TV' signal and one for the sound, of course ), that projects lantern slides through the phonograph horn. Truly a more authentic vintage "entertainment center" than the Chinese version...

I'll be very interested in buying that, but only if it also has a wire recorder...

Tish tosh... post 1920's technology on such a device; how gauche Now, a Poulsen Telegraphone maybe...

Ow great now more clutter to pass through on ebay! yickes .

But I'll make sooooo much if I caption it "rare Rare RARE Gramolinderteladiowirejector WITH ORIGINAL HORN!!!" Bid high and bid often!!! Don't let this one slip by!! No, I just couldn't live with myself... unless of course it went for $20K
