Every time I see one of those RCA Victor players I recall the one we had when a kid. Recall that ours had all brass parts, or brass plated. Toe arm and such also was about twice as wide with area for record storage off to one side. It worked just fine. Dad picked it up for free when cleaning out the attic of a wealthy family in town!I restored this Victrola in the 1970s with the help of a friend. It has taken a beating being moved about over the last several years. Now rehabbed and back in service.
That's a sweet music machine, Marty.
Mine looks like this one. It works perfectly. It's been in my family since 1960 something or about 50 years. It might be worth $150 or more. I don't care. I like it. Same goes for my bikes.
Heck I couldn't carry a tune in a bushel basket without tripping and spilling the notes!Remember when you were 13 years old and you were such a talented guitar player that you were touring with your own show, and you played with Joe Bonamassa in London, and played with blues legend Buddy Guy and you were in the movie School of Rock, Gibson guitars sponsored you and made custom guitars just for you? Yeah none of that happened to me either, but it sure did for this kid. From England, Toby Lee
From Toronto Canada, the Downchild Blues Band. The Blues Brothers were heavily influenced by this band and recorded several of their songs and even after Belushis death , Dan Akroyd would occasionally perform onstage with them.
I got everything I need……almost
Love it!
