What Berliners? I only see the incredible Edison Ajax in the bottom right corner of the panorama. And that is an absolute dream office. Congratulations on assembling the great collection.

Michael... This is an amazing collection. I have seen pics of your Double Bell Wonders before, but to see the entire collection is truly mind blowing...

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I've always loved the Berliner gramophones, so I have made that the focus of my phonograph collecting over the past 20 years.
