wow. nice. i am always looking out for things like this. missed out today on a really f-ing great deal. not trying to kill your post, but....
lady down the street today just sold her 1920's Phoenix Phonograph. for only $40. it was working and in excellent shape. i missed out by minutes. the guy went home to get his truck. sue (lady down the street) did play it for us so eve could see and hear it. she is only 3 1/2 listening to something 90 years old running on no electric power. we did end up with a very nice old full set of silver for ony $10. around a 100 pc set with case. her grandma's. the phonograph was her mom's. here is a stock pic of what the phonograph looked like.
The older phonographs are beautiful, too bad it's difficult fo find music to play on them. It's the same with the older radios, I have a really nice example of of 1940's electrohome, it looks great but it's AM. Not a whole lot broadcasted on AM these days.
One great option for anyone who is interested in older radios is to pick up an AM transmitter, I picked one up from Ramsy electronics, hooked it up to to the output jack of my computer, and I can listen to anything I want with. I downloaded tons of old radio serials and shows such as war of the worlds. I throw it on in the background when people are over, creates a pretty cool atmosphere.
That's an interesting idea with the transmitter. Along the same lines of using your computer to generate older programming I was looking at this Walbox/PC interface. Basically hook a computer to a Wallbox to simulate a Jukebox.
I was trying to find a non-working one like these. Electronics from these years was simple and durable, most of those who haven't been destroyed are still in full working order.
I wouldn't get myself to destroy a working vintage one like that. But I'd love to get a non-working one to convert to a modern touchscreen jukebox. Some of them have a design that screems to add a touchscreen!
For people who are into, or possibly interested in old tube radios, I recommend becoming a member of the Ottawa Vintage Radio Club (www.ovrc.org).
OVRC: Club based in Ottawa, however we have members throughout the world. 10 meetings/presentations per year, quarterly or so newsletters, access to the Tube Club, two auctions per year, etc. Only $10/year! I also bring free coffee, soft drinks and cookies at the monthly meets.
There is also the Quebec club, Société Québécoise des Collectionneurs de Radios Anciens (www.sqcra.qc.ca) based around Montreal. I am also a member there. Great club too.
I understand there is also another Antique Radio club around London,ON.
Cheers, - Sylvain.
