Just scored something amazing well I think so anyway.
« on: January 12, 2013, 12:06:58 AM »
Sadly I can't add a photo from my phone but today I picked up an antique gramaphone the one with the big trumpet thing.   
       I've managed to get it to wind up and spin repaired the broken trumpet now I just have to wait till the new needles arrive so excited.

  Ill post a photo tomorrow unless someone want me to email it to them to post for me?

Looking forward to the kids mate! Do you have any disks to play on it?

Cool. The HMV logo with the dog is iconic. It will look great in the games shed.

some awsome detail on it.  Sadly some of the veneer is lifting but if it was made in 1909 i can live with the lifting.

Yeah can't wait for the needles to arrive so I can try it out.    Was for sale by an older lady a few blocks away from home you really don't know what treasures are tucked away in random homes

You're gonna have to get a sign made up soon saying 'Geelong Museum'. I can see your house in another 50 years and the American pickers coming for a visit. And there's you with no teeth, can't stand up and spitting out "NO" to every offer they make.
