I keep a few phonos in my office. Here is a picture of a simple set up I have along one wall.

Nice pictures everyone, it's fun to see how other people make use of their space.

Sonny - I like the little vertical setup with the cylinder players, one tall one short. :-)

I guess I will be the first beginner to give this thread a try. I’ve only been collecting for 1 year & five months and have a humble collection, but I still love it.

Here is my c1924 Player-Tone Type 14 nestled in the corner of my family room. This machine gets the most use and can be heard throughout the house.

My 1917 Amberola 50 is enjoyed in the living room.

The 1922 VV-50 portable can be enjoyed anywhere! That’s why I love portables so much; I can make any place my “phonospace”! :D

Mike,

Gosh, I thought that old thread was long dead - - thanks for chiming in!

You have nice machines, and you have an eye for setting. Very attractive and evocative. Keep up the good work and enjoy! :)

Guess I'll jump in here with a few pics, too. I wasn't a forum member when the thread initially started. I am thoroughly enjoying seeing everyone's phonospace. Our house doesn't have a lot of extra space-- and between the kids, my wife and I, we fill it up pretty well. Except for one room we call our "parlor", my collection is confined in a small "phono room". It's a little crowded and I have to make sure I don't step on a few horns that are crowding the floorspace, but I enjoy hanging out there, nonetheless. Hope you enjoy!

ps-- First try at uploading was an epic fail :0 I'll try again. Sorry

Hey guys (and gals), I shot a quick photo of a small corner of just one of the rooms in the home. The collection is a central part of the decor throughout every room in the house, which was built in 1882.
Note...the Columbia BY on the left with an original Music Master inlaid mother-of-pearl horn. Possibly one of only a couple of these that even exist.

Thanks!

WOW!!!!. What more can be said. Please let us know when those machine's will be in the "Yankee Trader".....just joking....but I wish.... :mrgreen:.
The early rocking horses are also very cool and appear to be in great condition....considering many children would have been riding them through the wild west... :lol: :lol:.
Thank you for sharing.
