The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I rescued a nice mahogany VTLA this weekend. However, it did not have any "guts" under the lid. Everything else is intact. It has a full set of albums that look brand new. So, I guess I'll start piecing it back together. The serial number is 3331. Thanks!!

Hi- What year VTLA?-- Early Pooley flat-top? Later? Can you provide a picture?

Brad Abell

Hi Brad,
Flat Tops ended about Ser #2100 (no I do not want to get into a specific discussion about the LAST serial number of a Flat Top a new thread should be started) So this would be a Coffin Top model.

John

I took the lid off for safe keeping along with most of the hardware. It is the "coffin top" and not a flattop.
Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Where are you located?

Mason, Ohio. North of Cincinnati and south of Dayton.

Charles,

I think I sent this pic to you. If you can’t use it, maybe someone else can.

Reminds me of the old joke: "What does my car need?" "Remove the gas cap and drive a new one under it".
