He’s awesome…

December 28th, 2008 by admin

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.

Change in my Phonograph Collection

December 17th, 2008 by admin

Well Just to keep you all up to date on whats been going on with me and my collection. I have been really busy selling seems like I cant get enough items anyway on to my collection…I have sold my VE-230 since I found another one in American Walnut “Nice”
and everything worked out perfect too on my way to Stanton Auction I had to pass by the day after the auction for pick up of my new 230 and since Stanton is in Michigan and my restorer was just a mere 40 miles away I dropped it off with Paul Edie at Victor-Victrola
so with any luck I should have it by spring.

I’m also offering my Circassian Walnut 16, something I thought I would never do….the one pictured here…

If any of you have any interest contact me at vtlamark@gmail.com

Just in case you are interested in a shot of my American Walnut 230 here you go.

and another shot of it…Ain’t she Beautiful!!!

I have also added to my collection a real nice VV-XVII in Oak which came to me in near mint condition…see photo below..

I will have to get new photos of this as I have already done the preservation process on it. I will get those posted asap along with the Victor M that I got out of the estate J.D. Sumner of the Stamped Quartet…

I also have a Edison Triumph model E with a Diamond B reproducer and a Oak Music Master Cygnet Horn in which Sir Timothy of www.Phonophan.com has promised to have back to me before Christmas…I’m really looking forward on getting this one!

well if any of you out there have any comments or questions please post them, I’ll look forward to them.
Thanks for reading and Have a Very Merry Christmas!!
