Can't make out the print on the stand.....Not mine.

Never ceases to amaze me how crappy some of the pictures are on Craigslist. Yet the sellers expect to collect big bucks in many cases....

The stand? says Edison Victrola.

I was referring to the metal case the machine is sitting on - it has raised letters above the paper ad. Bill K

What Phonogal said - the stand says Edison Victrola

The "Edison" at the top is pretty clear, once you click on the photo to maximize it.

The "Victrola" comes out clearer using an online photo editor to enhance the quality:
Which begs the question, what is the stand from?

Ah yes, I see the Victrola now - My eyes are wearing out, think it is time for me to retire Bill K

It looks to me as if only the "Edison" is raised letters. Is it me?

What DD is that ?? How could that be a Victrola stand. That person had a lot of labels laying around. . Tom
