Well, I had to give the house a good cleaning recently for a family visit so I thought I'd take a few pics and add to this thread. Turns out the visit was canceled. All that effort wasted
Anyway, this is not everything I have, but I actually use most of what's here as opposed to what's in various degrees of storage. The only scarce machines are the Amberola 1A and the Edison P-1 portable. No Columbias, and no outside horn disc machines, but otherwise a pretty good basic group of machines that lets me play virtually anything properly.

Hey! That housecleaning turned out to be a good deal after all!
A very nice group, and as you say, it lets you play virtually anything. Your 1A even sports one of the earliest (and rather scarce) Pooley cabinets!
Thanks for posting - -

These are the bulk of our collection. It all started in 1978, and several times through the years, I've built, and lost, three collections. This one, with the help of my wonderful wife, will be the last and permanent one. Russie and Lori Ofria

Very nice collection. Can you play that Strat? I have played guitar all my life, but I am a LP guy.

Thank you! Yes, I can play it, not very well, but well enough to sing along, which is my other passion. Are you accomplished? Russie

I currently only have two phonographs. The Sonora Invincible has the place of honor in my living room where I can admire it most. The Edison A250 is in my entertainment room in the basement. I play both almost every day and they sound great! Thanks for starting this topic!

I used to be able to say "There's always room for one more" It is getting harder to say that lately. Waldo has been lost in here for a long time.

Yeah Tony, maybe this thread deserves another revival, I just looked through the whole thing. I've been collecting for 3 years, but I really started to get involved a year and a half ago, so I'm still in the "humble beginnings". Because I dont have a job yet, I can only relly on selling and reinvesting, so growth is slow but steady, so yes I've experienced much more than is in the picture. I also have the VV XVII which stays in another room.
