The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I was talking with a long time collector, seller who is going out of business. I got these at a great price and almost delivered to me. Within 60 miles. I have no idea where I am going to put them.

Ronnie I have room for them if you don't.

Nice VTLA in oak, Ronnie. Looks like the one that Paul Edie had for sale on his web site:

I've never found a VTLA in oak. Four in mahogany but never in oak. I'm sure you'll find room for it.

I bought them from Paul. He is getting rid of all of it, so give him a call. He gave me a really good deal on these.

Is he getting out of the hobby, or just liquidating machines ?


He has done great work with his database and web-page !

WAIT WHAT? Are they going out of business?

And where is their warehouse located?

Paul said he was retiring and not buying anymore. He also said he is selling what stock he has with the exception of his personnel machines. He has others not listed on the site so a call might help if you are looking for a particular machine? He is in Michigan.

I contacted Paul and this is what he told me. He is retiring from his day job (he is an engineer) in the fall. He is then moving to South Carolina to his new shop. He will still be working on phonographs but not to the capacity that he has been.

He is taking his personal collection with him and selling the machines listed on his site, as well as others not listed. He is thinning things out to lighten the load when he moves. If there are any Victor's you are looking for not on his site, contact him and he might have what you're looking for.

Thanks Mike !

I am glad to hear he will be staying involved in the hobby.
