What are your least used machines for playing:
I listed in order.
Cylinder: Columbia Q, Columbia B, Columbia BK (The Q and B, are great shelf sitters but lack power, audio quality and occasionally skip)
Disc: Polly Portable, VV-IV, VV-VI, VV 1-70 (The Polly is fun to look at, the arm is heavy, and the motor is not that robust). My Victrola VV-IV and VV-VI both are early models and so I
I don't want to break the motors as they are the early.

Victor R - fiber gear is missing a tooth!
Columbia Q and B - nice to look at, ok to touch, but to listen, not so much
Edison Gem (branded case) - no amount of Medved Massage could make the weird little reproducer sound good
