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!!

As promised, last week I received a BOAT LOAD of cylinder records - and I do mean a BOAT LOAD! So if you’re interested in any particular titles or numbers, get with me quickly since I will be listing them in large lots on EBay this weekend.

Also, I still have the restored Fireside Model A, and the flemished oak Victor-Victrola 16 for sale.

On a personal note, I just acquired an Edison Triumph Model E, and an oak Music Master horn to add to my collection. Of course, they are with Phonophan receiving the Tim-and-Wyatt treatment - YA-MAN!

I also will have a stunning Edison Home, with a Diamond B reproducer and cygnet horn, for sale. You won’t want to miss this one! Phonophan has just finished up the Tim-and-Wyatt treatment and is sending them off to me. I will post a photo of it as soon as it arrives at my doorstep.

Last week, I received my oak Victor-Victrola 17 and, after unpacking it, was totally blown away! It’s near mint condition - the nicest one I’ve ever seen! Right now, it’s taken apart in my shop waiting for clean-up. When it’s finished, I’ll be posting a photo of it.

Thanks, VTLA Mark

This is an outstanding Edison Fireside Model ‘A’ with the correct two-piece reproduction horn and crane. This machine, and it’s horn, are in beautiful condition. It plays two-minute wax cylinder records and four-minute Amberols equipped with the Model ‘K’ reproducer (that has been rebuilt). This machine has a new belt and has recently been oiled, cleaned and completely gone over, including the spring by my restorer, Phonophan, and it plays like there is no tomorrow! This is one machine you will be proud to display and play. The serial number is 2166.

See the listing on Ebay - link at right!                     Item# 110300474701
