The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Last year, I purchased a late L-Door with a nice set of incorrect albums. I am in search of a set of the correct albums for a late L-Door model (after boxes and before the 10 page albums) to populate my machine with. Trades or out right buy's welcome, I just want the correct albums for my machine.

Included is a pic of the machine with the current albums. And a borrowed pic of the correct albums. Hopefully I'll be able to post an "after" photo.

The Oak machine pictured is the machine with the incorrect albums, that I would like to upgrade to the albums with the 17 page versions. I've had them on machines past, but sent them on with their machines when I sold them.

Thanks,

Matt

Bumpity Bump

Does anyone have a set of these albums they are willing to part with?

Matt

I got lucky as Mine came with the albums. From what ive heard...the albums can be worth more than most L-Shaped machines. Not sure if true...but kinda makes sense. The ppl i purchased mine from said they had several offers just for the albums. Nice to meet another L-Shaped machine member

That's a nice looking machine. Those look very much like record boxes in yours, but I can't be 100% sure from the angle of the photo. What I am looking for is the record albums, like books with about 16-17 pages each. They have the same brass pull rings, but a more bowed front/spine and no wood at all.

Years ago, I had a mahogany L-door with a full set. I should've kept them.

Still looking.

Not rlly sure what you mean. These have "record sleeves" inside and ratger certain are the original binders to the machine.

I hope I didn’t offend. The albums in your picture look eerily similar to the VTLA boxes in my VTLA shown below. Again, it’s very hard to tell conclusively from the pictures though.

You have a beautiful L-door.

Well Matt, Just dug out Victor albums --- 17 page w/gold o-ring pulls, that I believe are the ones you are looking for. What letters for the 10" & 12" albums do you want? I will try to get pictures and send them to your cell phone. ---Herb

Thank you. Reply sent via PM.

Still looking.

Thank you to the forum members who have been able to help me thus far. I still need the 12 inch “F” & “G” albums, as well as the 10 inch “H”. Then, I should be done. I have a nice 12 inch “E” coming.

As always, any help is appreciated and I am willing to buy or trade for albums in good condition. I have a number of albums to trade, but will gladly buy what is needed.

Pics below show progress and albums available to trade.

Thank you!

Matt
