The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I probably shouldn't call this "Day One" because Henry has been exposed to many antique phonographs over the past year or so (his favorite is a Victrola Credenza). But today, he got to wind up a VV-IV, lower the needle (that poor record), and open/close the doors to his heart's content. We had to play a few different records, but I was surprised in how interested a 2 year-old would be in how it WORKS. I made the mistake of removing the turntable, and once he spotted the moving governor weights below, he was on fire. We played with this thing for about 45 minutes, which - as any parent/grandparent of a 2 year-old will tell you - is a long, long time. He may be hooked.

Very nice! Thanks for sharing it.

Cute!!! He is "Looking for the Band" Good thing he doesn't have an axe.

Heart warming image for granddad and a little curious George.

James.

Maybe he will actually find the band and solve the mystery. Love the photo George. He is our future!
