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!!

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..

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!
