The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Looking for a fellow collector or a museum who would be willing to have their working external horn machine featured on stage with orchestra for a performance, plus a demonstration event Thursday evening on the 20th. My other option is flying from Michigan to Florida with a machine.

Your suggestions, leads and ideas welcome!

Frankenphones welcome as long as they work and are loud!

A Schoolhouse Victrola (VV-XXV) would be perfect for that venue. Let it do what it was made for!!! Now just finding someone close by with one is the problem…
Wishing you all the best in your hunt! Hope it all works out…

I can vouch for this person's integrity. I loaned her a Columbia outside horn machine for a similar function that was held here in Michigan. I am still trying to find the parts to repair a Parlorphone for her. If you live near this venue, please consider loaning her an outside horn machine.
