The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I thought I'd go ahead and post the pictures I took at the show in Orlando, the machines my parents hauled down to FL for me, and what was awaiting me at home when I got back from a great visit overall..

First, aknowledgements to my parents for hauling my stuff, to Gregg Cline for a great job on repairing the Vic VI horn and to Don Gfell for bringing it to the show, and last but not least to Steve Andersen for holding the Ed Home and bringing it to me at the show.

Now, the show-

Thanks for the great photos. I have heard nothing but good things about the Orlando show. Next year I hope to find out for myself. Jerry Blais

My stuff (just ignore all that other junk on the periphery:

Edison C-4, Columbia Viva-tonal 650, Victor RE-45

Mahog. Ed Home Vic VI restored horn
and finally, what had arrived while I was gone- a pretty cool record storage box for Edison Diamond Discs- it needs a little fixin' but overall not bad, and a good fit on the A-150 Bruce!
Quite a week huh? Steve

Awesome pics, thanks for posting!

Only if I could get my hands on one of those glass horns...
I wish I could have been there.

The glass horns are replicas and Don Gfell was taking orders. I'm certain he'd be glad to hear from you..

I see very nice items. Were there any bargains? Were prices reasonable?

Some very nice stuff there and it looks like the boxes fit perfecty under the A150.

How though could you not mention that A375 in the corner Steve???

Hi, Don displayed the glass horns for me as i flew down for the show and couldn't carry enough stuff to have the need for a table. I will be bringing more to the Union show in June and Wayne Nj shows.

Thank you, Stephen Madara

Harvey, I didn't spend bunches of time looking around. I was there mainly to pick up previous purchases. The prices I did see were what I guess I'd call "normal" if that makes sense. I remember the VV-XVIII was 2950, one of the H&S cabinets was 3000, another was 4750, the Credenza was 1400 and the VV-XVII was 950. The spring motor pictured is on Ebay right now at a start bid of 2600.

Bruce, the A-375? That old thing? That's old news now.... Seriously, I was really pleased how the DD record storage boxes look on the A-150, now just need some of the pull "loops" to put in place to make it look better.

Stephen, thanks for adding the comments about the beautiful glass horns.
