That's a nice find...
You have to love the Thomas Edison cynlnder player (forget the full technical name haha). Very cool collection. That's the first time I saw those "polyphonic" players which look like music boxes though.

Good to see the ESL 57 there too. It might look like a radiator, but theres arguably never been a better loudspeaker and midrange and vocal reproduction.

BTW, for those of you enjoying the pics, you might like a book called "Phonographs With Flair" by Fabrizio (who else) and Paul.

The long wait is over, after drooling over the turntable in this thread, one finally went up for sale! Can someone lend me some pocket change?

if it's a 78, it's made of lacquer.
