This room is not completely done and the display is not the best or organized with lot more of cleaning and organizing to do; but, I thought I might a few photos to keep this thread going. The pictures were taken on an iPhone and so the quality of the photos reflect that:-( hope they are clear enough to help with identifying the machine models and some of the unique features.

Wow, can I move in? I don't think I've ever seen so many Tinfoil machines in one place. And several Class M, Coin-ops, Idelia, and, and, sorry, I'm choked up. Congratulations, that is an awesome collection. Thank you very much for sharing.

Thanks very much for sharing Slaton. If I'm ever in your neighborhood I'll definitely try to get invited over!

I do not know how I missed this thread but I just spent a very enjoyable morning on the back porch flipping through all of these amazing collections. I had no idea there were so many beautiful machines out there.

Thank you to all who have shared so far. I will set aside some time to share my collection (small as it is) soon as I finish my "honey do list"

I had the pleasure of visiting Slaton earlier this month and seeing his collection in person. The pictures don't do it justice!

I understand some of the comments about too many phonographs and not enough space. When I began collecting about 8 years ago, I knew I had limited space, but also a completely unfurnished living room, which took on the appearance of a blank canvas. I think I'm pretty good about displaying without an overly cluttered look. Once the living room was filled with Victors, I continued in the master bedroom, followed by the hallway, dining area, and family room. I feel that my 39 Victrolas and 1 Victor II fit into the scheme of things; at least people can walk from room to room without knocking things over.
