Very cool, Walt! I enjoy "then and now" shots. (Unless they're of me...!)

Covah,
my mahogany Opera and base cabinet were originally sold at Southern California Music on Broadway in Los Angeles. The business card came with the machine. The salesman's name was Lovejoy.

I notice on the record sleeve that Platt had a branch in LA's old Jewish neighborhood on Brooklyn Ave. in east LA. I believe Canter's Deli was there, too, before it and the entire neighborhood migrated to Fairfax Ave. In the mid-1930's.
