Victrola IV from Paterson, NJ
Posted: Sat Apr 05, 2014 8:42 pm
Last night my wife and I spent the evening with my niece and her husband.
Aside from a social visit, they were dropping off a Victrola IV that belongs to his parents.
I told them I would give it a good cleaning, check the mechanics, and have the reproducer rebuilt.
To my surprise, the machine has an awesome metal dealer's plate from my hometown, Paterson, NJ.
I grew up there in the early sixties about two blocks from the Great Falls.
As a college student in the late 1970's and early 1980's, I worked for a bank which was a block from the address on the dealer tag.
A pretty cool discovery for me.
I am curious if any other members of this forum, have Paterson related phonograph items in their collections?
I would love to find something myself!

PS I would like to find two speaker door knobs and two crank escutcheon screws for this machine (see ad in Yankee Trader section)
