The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Two shots, found separately, of The Great Stone Face with his Victor Hyperion 15-1 Electrola.

I wonder what happened to it.

Darn, I shouldn’t have had those “BK” initials carved in the top and nasty scratches in the front repaired. lol

Keaton lost everything in his 1932 divorce and his mansion went up for sale in 1933. Various people lived there (Cary Grant & Barbara Hutton, Marlene Dietrich)but in 1949 everything was put up for auction- and by that time the Hyperion would have been hopelessly outdated.
