The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

That's a PAL portable marketed through upscale department stores. Wonderful machines, absolutely top- tier. I'd love to find another one.

A Columbia BS and GEM Roller Organ on a built-in bookcase. The dining room has a Vic 6 on matching cabinet and a small mahogany Reginaphone console in two corners. The rest is upstairs where I've taken over the entire loft and one bedroom - kinda crazy?

None in the living room, but two Edison Triumphs and an Edison Standard in the spare bedroom/music room.

A Victor V
A Victor VV-4-40 (missing it's leg stretcher)
A non-branded Paillard portable

They're all in my living room.
Really not much, but there's no room for anything else...

Nothing "so called" about it, those are all very nice machines!

We have a variety of items in the parlor...3 Regina automatic changers, a maroon gem, 2 Columbia piano machines, Regina desk machine, large Paillard music box on table, Edison Idelia (earliest serial number on record), Columbia BY w/ inlaid MOP Music Master horn, 3 Victor VI's on original cabinets, 5 Edison dolls, 2 Jumeau dolls, 2 Amberola 1A's.
I think that is it...

I have a Columbia desk model with the pull out record player, a Victrola IX and a Victrola XIV, an Edison Amberola 50 and a Edison Amberola VIII A Edison F home with a cygnet wood horn and finally a Edison standard F with an oak painted cygnet horn . I had to take my Edison home C out with a cygnet horn last month after my daughter re did the living room. It ended up in my bedroom. I think she wanted to tone it down a little. I may have to take one of the ambrolas out too she crowded it up. The Victrola XIV though is in the adjacent dining room though.

i used to have my amberola 30 in the living room, but moved it into my room about year ago. at a few flea markets, I've seen furniture-sized victrolas and gramophones for a really great price. if i ever get one of those, i think it'll have to stay downstairs, no way i can carry it up

Living room - 0. Dining room - 4 (Columbia BI Sterling, Edison Triumph A with 2/4 adapter & 11 panel cygnet horn, Victor V with Oak spear horn & Edison Schubert).
Basement - Too numerous to mention!

In the living room is an Edison A250, Edison Triumph Model B with 2/4 minute conversion and with 11 panel Cygnet horn and a Capehart 400M Deluxe Chippendale for 78's.

The Triumph has a Diamond B reproducer for Blue Amberols, a Model N for wax Amberols and a model N I fitted with a two minute stylus for two minute records.

Our living room sort of blends into the dining room, but in the living room/dining room I currently have an oak C-250, an early oak Victrola XIV, a Victrola XVI in Circassian walnut, a mahogany VTLA flat-top, a VIctrola 8-35, a Victrola XVI in American walnut, a Victor XXV, a Victrola in a custom cholla cactus cabinet, a mahogany Herzog Amberola I-A, an oak Pooley Amberola I-A, a mahogany Columbia Grafonola Elite, a mahogany Columbia Symphony Grand, a Victrola 8-7, a mahogany Edison A-150, a low-trunnion Columbia Type AT, an Edison Model C GEM, and an oak Regina music box on a Herzog base.
