The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I would like to thank everyone for the kind words and encouragement with reguards to the posts of my collection. Thank you, Mike

WOW!To coin a phrase. edisonplayer

I would go nutty deciding which one I would play!

I wouldn't know what drives other collectors, but for me it seems to run in spurts of different moods when playing these machines. One playing session could be all Edison DDs, then the next all Victrola and so on. Each of the machines is set up so I can get to them and use them on a regular basis. It's been fun. There really isn't any room for more, or to sit and watch TV! Thanks, Mike

wonderful, fabulous collections! I love looking at them and how people have "decorated" with them,and are displaying them!! awesomely wonderful!!!

I am new to the forum and Andreas pointed me to know this topic some collections of members of this community, I am speechless, the collections are fantastic and unimaginable here in Brazil, so the lack of older models and even wanting to import the values ​​that reach would be astronomical because the import taxes are very high, higher than the amount paid by the machines.
Is good for eye and heart, all are to be congratulated, but do not want to be left out, collect these wonders ha about 6 years, I have around 20 machines, from toy to the largest two more that are on the way , have fun with the collection and now divided with you some photos.

Another angle basically use most of the living room to store the machines, I'm still decorating, missing carpets and pictures related but is already taking shape.

In the background there is a Cascade with stones that is off most of the time, the great stone was there when it scooped you increase the room that is below street level.

Some smaller machines in mobile old English bookcase recently purchased to expose the collection.

Here two simple phonographs and a small collection of rare cylinders in Brazil, the drawers left is filled with Columbia and Edison cylinders.
