So to keep from loading many photos of the same model, even though there are many diffrent finishes, I thought I would upload the more unusual ones and some of my favorites. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy sharing! Wish you all could see them in person. Ed

OMG! What did you say your address is?? I'll be on the next flight out!

I'd be interested in knowing the serial number of your B-275. Would you please check that for me?

Thanks,

Thanks for the extra photos----wow!

Whenever you get to it, it would be neat to see more of that custom Victrola. So you're saying that the the entire top opens in 3 individual sections? Is it safe to say that this is the only example of such a machine out there?

The Fischer phono cabinet looks much like something from the Sonora line---especially in the way an otherwise square lid meets up with the flared, bulbous front.

Who is the maker of the piano-cased phono? I know that there were several different ones over the years.

Here are more pics of the custom Victrola in various poses.

The piano cased phono is a Fern-o grand that I picked up a couple of months ago.

Pardon my ignorance but which phono is the B-275? If you are refering to the one beside the C-250 that is an Edison L-19 (louis XIV) # L-19-1005. If this is not the one you mean let me know and help me learn something new!! Ed

I live in NE, NC, or as we like to call it "The Twilight Zone", at least an hour from any big city! Hope your airline has parachutes!!

I believe Goerge was referring to the Edison B-275 that the (electrified?) Zonophone is sitting on.

Yes - that's the one. It has inlay on the cabinet. Thanks - -

Never heard it referred to by that number. It is an EDison SI-19 # 1556. Hope that helps. Ed
