Magical Friday the 13th Score!
Friday the 13th just passed. Lucky 13! Skeetie went to an Estate sale on Friday the 13th. The Estate sale was in a house on a cemetery. I imagine it was the Estate of the caretaker! Skeetie was looking for tools and things of that nature for the garage and asked if there was anything in the basement. The Estate sale director said no there's just an old record player. Knowing that I collect them he asked if he could see it. It was the only thing sitting in the basement, it was beautiful and he grabbed it for me. So a beautiful 1921 Granby phonograph alone in the basement of a house on a cemetery on Friday the 13th....that thing was meant to be mine!
So Saturday morning he brings it over and I have been playing with it since. I Scott's Liquid Golded it and oiled it up. The sound quality is awesome. Yesterday morning early I discovered that the reproducer is dual, meaning it plays both vertical and lateral cut records! I was thrilled! This means I can finally play all those turn of the century vertical cut Triumph, Par-o-ket & Crescents that Charlie gave me as well as the big stack of Pathes from Raymond! What a true treasure! The ghosts are dancing around!
It is my all time favorite talking machine and I have a lot of them. This one does it all!
