This is the wife posting, unbeknownst to hubby, but I have to tell you all something.
While he was out helping a neighbor today, I received a phone call from someone several states away. She thanked me for a Nipper she’d bid on through Ebay, courtesy of my husband. She said her husband was thrilled - not only for the Nipper, but for a handful of records Hubby threw in for her….just because.
He’s not only the most awesome person I know, but also the most awesome person a lot of people know because of his character.
Just have to tell, even though I know he’ll probably delete this post.

Well here it is like I stated in my last post the Edison Home B with Cygnet Horn and
Diamond B Reproducer. This machine came out even nicer that I thought
it would. Tim & Wyatt at Phonophan did an outstanding job on this
well preserved machine. Thanks Guy’s. It will make a wonderful addition
to some lucky buyer’s home and collection. Phonophan had cleaned,
greased. oiled, rebuilt the reporducer, tuned this Machine to make it
the best it can be. It will last someone a life time..Check it out on
my e-bay listings or you can check by my ID vtla_mark
Thanks for viewing my blog..

Hello all you phonograph Fans. Thanks for all the e-mails on the Victor P, Yes
It’s SOLD. I still have the Restored Edison Fireside Model A and the Flemish Oak
Victor-Victrola. I had just added to my e-bay sales 4 lot’s of Cylinder records, a
Edison Model A Standard and some misc. parts for all of you’s looking.
Check out my E-Bay listings.
I do want to talk a bit about restoration on these wonderful machines. There are two
Professional”s that come to mind. One being Tim Fabrizio of Phonophan whom I might add does all mine! Tim has been in the business for the last well lets say 40 years and for my money and my collectibles is the best in the business.
Then there is Paul Edie of Victor-Victrola if you are truly into Victor and Victor-Victrola phonograph’s then you need to check out his site at..
www.victor-victrola.com
Paul does clean up all the way to museum quality restorations and by far blows the doors off the competition!
Well time to go but keep checking back, Thanks VTLA Mark

This is an extremely rare and highly collectible Columbia disc machine in near mint condition! Honestly, folks, this is the real deal! This AH came out of the Bob Sitter collection and is a real collector’s dream. In its original state, the horn is stamped “pat applied for”, and the brass elbow is stamped “Pat Sep 8 03″. The machine plays beautifully and is a rare piece of history. This may be your only chance to own one this rare!
See my Ebay link on the right!

For all of you who don't know me, I am a licensed real estate broker in the state of Florida. I am also an active member of Cocoa Rotary. Like you, I have a real love for the old Victor-Victrola, Victor, and Edison cylinder phonographs.
My hobby has transpired into a kind of business I pride myself on being able to offer to you, consisting of the finest available restored rare and exotic wood-veneered phonographs and records. Keep in mind these phonographs and records are 90-100 years old! I use only the best restorers in the industry (Tim Fabrizio and Paul Edie) for all of my restoration work.
If you have any questions on phonographs, I'll be happy to answer them!
