Recently, my friend, who has a sizable record collection, acquired his second pre-1930 phonograph. It's a tabletop, crank-powered Victrola which he purchased for $160 and renovated with his grandfather. I have been considering the purchase of my own tabletop Victrola for everyday use; it would, at the very least, be enjoyable to go record-shopping with him after renovating it together. Afterwards, we could sip tea while listening to classical music.
Does anyone here have any experience with phonographs of that sort? They're rather fun. Edit: I recently became aware of a good deal involving a Victor Victrola VV-VI selling for around $300 at a nearby antique store. I am currently considering its purchase, but do not have enough money on hand at the moment. Your thoughts? |

My family a record player, along with a decent collection of music. Granted, said player was manufactured within the past decade, but I think it still counts. |

Some modern record players even uses laser apparently. Apparently a needle slowly ruins the record it's playing on. 
First thing I thought on when reading the thread title is that old poor old man who accidentally ruined a phonograph cylinder in his hands... on TV. ____________________ AIM: gamefreak1337, MSN: Emil_sim@spray.se, XMPP: ailure@xmpp.kafuka.org

Posted by Marzen This. My grandfather has a record player (an old one, at that. Works fine). @bzuka, don't bump old threads! The last post before yours was on 05-22-09 (May 22nd, 2009)! ____________________  |
