I've never seen this console before, just thought I'd share...

It's listed as from www.misterphonograph.com, it looks they have posted quite a few phonographs, including a B-80.

Its a great looking machine to my taste. Wish I were near.

Those art case Edisons are big suckers, too . . . they remind me of aircraft carriers -- you could land a plane on top of them they are so long! I'd be proud of it in my collection. I have a soft spot for those naive, awkward B-80's, too!

I fully agree with John on this. I would love to have this "aircraft carrier" but my harbor is more sized for a few "row boats" and is pretty well packed already
