The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

My first machine was an Australian built Rexonola (Thorens motor). My father bought it for me in 1979 when I was a boy. I still have it but rarely use it because there are better machines at home now. Here’s a photo taken 45 years apart.

Awesome! Great pictures.

More photos of my first phono the “Northome” I mentioned earlier. I think this was probably a OEM machine that had the Northome brand slapped on it. I don’t have a soundbox on it but I might make a video of it playing with the Electrola No 4 soundbox on it for YouTube!

I can fix her.
