Two great machines together! Some of us would like either one of those but to have BOTH is just a dream. Well done, Sean.

Sean, I'm admiring the record cabinet under your BD. Can you show a photo of it open?

I Like that cabinet very much - is it THE cabinet for this machine or is it just a very happy co - incidence ?

I think the pursuit of an appropriate pedestal for a machine is more difficult than finding the actual machine in the first place

I haev a "stock" of lovely record cabinets just waiting for the "Right " machine, not easy as material, style and period have to match up as well as aesthetic consideration


and it's "Gotta look right "

Here's mine - on a "Disque" cabinet of C 1910


the Curved door panel echos the carved sides if the Machine

Sorry, gang, I've been away most of the weekend. The cabinet isn't branded, but certainly a nice match for the BD. A friend of mine spotted it after seeing the BD and called me to go grab it for $100, it was in an antique store.

Both the machine and cabinet are sort of buried at the moment while I'm reorganizing some living space, but I'll try to get a shot of it open this week.
