    I so wish I had one of those, I have a collection of 78s that I have a dedicated turntable for, but I would love to have a vintage Victrola.

    I just played this one for this thread...

    I don't necessary want a model with the large horn. Takes up to much room, but I would love a boxed version or a table top version.

    That's a nice novelty and all but I think I would rather stick with my high fidelity modern stereo.

    I agree. Not really listening to the music per se... really just enveloping myself into the history of recorded music.

    I don't have a gramophone but I have one of these- great for playing those old beaters:

    His style of singing truly grasped the attention of the people at the time.

    Very interesting.

    Found this guy today in the used bins... looks to be unplayed. Almost perfect for a 1956 78RPM shellac 10"
