"Phonospace" or "How Do You Display Your Collection?"

[Inigo]

What interesting collections! I'm green with envy... 😃

[phonogfp]

It's been awhile.  Does anyone have any additions they'd like to add?

Forgot about my Q.R.S. Portable.

[phonogfp]

Nicely framed advertisements really set off your collection.  I wish I had your wall space!

 

What's that interesting cabinet under your Type BF Graphophone?

Thank you George!

 

That is a Tiger Oak record Cabinet, of unknown manufacturing?

[nippers_lounge]

Here is the record cabinet opened. The top two slots can hold 10 inch 78’s and the bottom holds 12 inch. I don’t keep records in this one as the record sleeves don’t fit well. It can hold records without sleeves.

Thanks for posting pictures of that wonderful record cabinet!

Here is part of my collection.

Wow!  Nice collection. I have that exact same Victor Mirror. The one on the top left.

[phonogfp]

Gee - what do you have against Victors?  😃

Well, there is one Trademark hidden in there. I mean that's not a Victor right? 🙂

Thanks! The O in the middle of the top shelf got demoted to the floor and replaced with a rigid arm E.  It's a nipper eat nipper life on those shelves... .

Indeed not!

 

Nice collection of early disc machines - -

Very nice collection! I have the same record cabinet in oak. It's one of my very best finds. Yours looks beautiful!

[phono-phan]

I have been reluctant to add my pictures because my "Phonospace" never looks in order.  Sorry for the mess. 

[phonogfp]

Another guy who doesn't like Victors! 😄

 

You have an outstanding collection, Ken!  Thanks for posting!

I've exhausted the saying "There is always room for one more"

I'm on the look out for a hand wind Victor D.  That would round out the Victor horn machine collection.  A Victor Toy is on its way here.  I don't think I will ever be able to acquire the Victor MD.

I wish I had as much space as Ken! Now if I could take over my wife's she-shed.... But then I would have the whole house to myself and no money left for any phonographs.  

Ken is way, way ahead of me on Victors.  I still need the Victor A, and B, and both hand-wound toys.  We all need something to look forward to!

I will post pictures when I get my display of all four Victor MS oak variations put together.  Still waiting on a couple of repairs on the rigid arm motor. I know there are also Mahogany versions of the MS, but for now oak will have to do.

A Victor Monarch Deluxe.  Only two known.

Ah - of course.  We showed one in our book, A World of Antique Phonographs.

The quote is more like "if you can see the floor then there's room for more"! I saw your collection and there is floor space. Well, here and there. 🤪
