How many machines are in your living room?

[Inigo]

My 12th machine bought last June is an HMV Model 3 hornless tabletop (HMV versión of the victrola vi) in oak. It has been temporarily seated on the top of the right loudspeaker of my modern record player system. A solid walnut box 24" high. Watch it in action here

The location can be peeped at 1:40 and again at 2:40.
It's in the main bedroom... On the top of the left loudspeaker stands another small hornless tabletop, my HMV junior Model (kind of small victrola iv). This is the machine featured in my avatar. This made number 11th, was the latest acquisition until the big brother arrived. It can also be seen in action herein:

In the middle of both, a cloth covered table supports the turntable, amp and equaliser. In the video that table can be peeped at the left of the Gramophone. Well, what you see is a black silk cloth covering the amp, to avoid dust...

I have 19 Victrolas in my living (Victrola) room. You can tell I'm single.

I had 9 in the living room until we were preparing to put our house up for sale. The real estate agent strongly recommended reducing the clutter to make the house more marketable. So I reduced the number in the living room to 2 (Credenza & HMV 511). The rest went into temporary storage. The house sold, and we have moved to a different state.

There are 2 machines in our living room, a Victor VV-X, the first one I repaired in Jan, 2013, and a ratty but perfectly functional Victor VV-215, my wifes choice.

Last week I had 9 - now down to 2: an Edison 1B Amberola and a Columbia AF. All the rest in library and "phono room"

I have a Victor II Humpback, Victrola XVI Circassian, Reginaphone 246, Columbia AR, Zonophone Grand Opera, Zonophone D, Edison Amberola 1A,and Edison B80 on matching stand.

One Victor VV-XIV, but then again there is also a harpsichord in the room. However, the front parlor has an L-door VV-XVI, a Sonora Concert, a Columbia De Luxe, and an Edison Home, while the dining room has a Victor 8-12, a VV-210, a Victor D, a VV-XI, and a Granada X, and the entry hall has a Credenza. Things do have to get moved around in December to make room for Christmas trees.

Hi, I am new to this forum. My name is Erwin and I am living in The Netherlands.

I thought reviving this old thread is maybe an nice way to introduce a little bit of me and part my collection.

Living in The Netherlands, and counting now 11 machines in my living room:


Zonophone Home

Victor M

Victor 6 (early)

Pathé Modele E, with very rare blue torsed horn, only available in Pathé catalog for one month (December 1909). Colours Red and Green were longer available.

Pathé Concert Modele A, with orginal Pathé stand/record cabinet 1909/10

HMV 202, serial number 125.

Edison Concert with ca 1903 Pathé build modification to play standard, intermediate and concert cylinders.

Lioret with mahogany base and large horn. Rare intermediate model. Has the ball governor, and mica sides but still equiped to play Lioret 1,2 and 3 size cylinders instead of the more usual Eureka size cylinders for this particular model.

Berliner Lever Wind

Zonophone Grand (9 inch turntable) Coin Op, according to Phonogallerie of Paris one of only two complete machines of this type to exist).

Edison Class M (1890/91)

1 Victor Credenza.

This is weird, seriously weird. I have never owned or particularly needed to own a Credenza and have no recollection of saying I had one in my living room. which I clearly couldn't have. Was my account hacked? Hmmm.......

My current living room is home to 14 machines (this will be subject to reduction when I've finished decorating the house), 4 of which are floor standing horn models including coin slot Automatique du Francaise, Trombophone and two Experts. There is also an EMG 10B Oversize hiding out in there too.

[epigramophone]

An Edison Opera.
A Pathé Reflex.
A Beka Horn model.
An Expert Minor.
A Micro-Perophone Chromogram.
A Chinoiserie Fullotone.

Lurking in one of the drawers are a Perophone Pixie Grippa, A Bing Pygmyphone and a Saphon.
