The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Saturday I went into a local bakery to make sure the Brownies were edible. It took 2 for me to decide they are still good to eat.

When I looked up I saw this. I told my wife I felt like a PETA member in a Taxidermy shop!

Well at least two were repos and two others were shot to heck.

They had so much more sound to project.

Sometimes they can be resurrected, if not modified too much. I bought the horn for my Vic II as a pool table lamp and the horn is still good. Unfortunately they had cut off the elbow though

You should buy them ! If not let some others know where exactly they are , may be they can buy them , they shouldn't be left there !

It appears as though they probably aren't for sale, since this is a bakery and they are mounted to the ceiling.

Rough cylinder horns with bad original finishes are on great oversupply on this side of the pond. I personally don't mind the "lampification" of this sort of horn, but do shudder when I see a god disc horn so treated. I converted a half-dozen cylinder horns into these awful chandeliers after seeing an excellent large Victor disc horn (the L size horn which was offered as standard equipment on the Victor V) so converted. The horns that I converted had lost their original finishes in my late fire and were of no particular value, whilst the Victor horn was nearly perfect, with an excellent original decal. I offered the group of these horns to the dealer with the Victor horn and received it in part exchange for them. I cont this as saving one original horn at the loss of some garbage.

Looks like a scene from a horror film!

Silence of the Gramophones, perhaps?
