We had a Victrola from around the same age and had all the 78's that went with it. So I'm sure that's what you have. Have fun. How about a party at your house? We all have to get dressed up in 40's garb. I'll bring the martinis and I get the first dance. Everyone here is invited and...
But wouldn't that be fun?
Marion; Just ran across your's & Brooke's posts about the OLD victrolas. Mare; You said you had one and several records. Have you, since Art & I were up to visit you, relieved yourself of it. I remember seeing it in the corner of your back room you were fixing up.
I also have a victrola with about forty or more of the old clay records. They all seem to be dated around 1901 to 1906. One is only grooved on one side and at the bottom of the lable is written; [ patented May 4, 1886 and December 10, 1901 ]. On one record I have; this particular band leader is explaining this new way of puting music on a flat record, and asks the people to listen to it and experience how wonderful this new invention is.
I wouldn't recomend playing anything but clay records on the victrola though, because I think the weight of the head alone would cause the needle to, in time, cut through the plactic.
