The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

This Photo shows the author Erich Maria Remarque with with his Record Player. He had a huge record collections of all different Types of music which he mainly bought in Germany and switzerland. As the people of the „Remarque Friedenszentrum“ asked me which machine this could be I thought maybe someone can recall this model here ?
In his diary he wrote that it is a Capehart - maybe that‘s a hint?

Wow! What a poor way to treat his prized records.
The weight of those stacks could easily warp or crack the ones in the bottom.

If that's a Capehart, he evidently did quite well in life...! Not that he didn't write any bestsellers or anything.
