Here are some relaxing VV-50 videos that were uploaded recently featuring the phonograph in a peaceful 1920s setting. These were filmed in a public park with an open-to-the-public 1920s era stone mansion as the backdrop. The folding chairs are also from the 20s. -Enjoy!

This is a wonderful presentation of the VV-50. After all this was meant to be an Outing Phonograph. I also have a 1921 VV-50 and have taken it to family picknics .It is always a big hit with the young folks.
Thank You,

Very nice, thank you. I played the Wedding March at my daughter's outdoor wedding on my VV-50. This is a machine I will definitely keep.

Thanks! Of all the beautiful phonographs out there the VV-50 is my personal favorit (second to the Victor V that is). It may not be the most beautiful or valuable phonograph, but I love being able to play 78s anywhere I go.

I have never been there. I would like to go sometime.
Did you have gawkers wondering what you were doing?

Surprisingly no, I don’t think I can turn heads even if I pulled up in a Model T! It seems that most people just don’t care about early phonographs or antiques.
There weren’t a lot of people up there anyway, which was good. I didn't want people walking through the background with ball caps and shorts; it would have ruined the 1920s illusion.
