in cleaning out some closets, I have a bunch of 78's, which I believe should be played on a Victrola.....
there must be 40+ of them...... would anybody be interested in them? Free for the offering.....just pay postage, but they are heavy.... to name a few: Nat King Cole Glenn Miller Jo Stafford and Gordon MacRae Art Lund Harry James and his orchestra Frankie Carle and his orchestra on....Capitol, MGM, and Columbia record labels.... | ||

Martin, I used to, but I sold my Victrola along with my 40-year record collection nine years ago. I had stuff from roughly 1900 to the 1950s, mostly 1925 - 1940.
The records you're offering should play fine on anything that has a 78 stylus, but I advise against playing them on an old school phonograph that uses disposable steel needles. Your records were recorded when electronic players with long life needles had already replaced crank phonographs in the marketplace, and would sound best on that type of system. | ||

I remember reading somewhere long, long ago about Victor's stubborn refusal to eliminate the bonnet top. I think the VV-330 is an excellent example of this practice. As stated in the linked site's blurb, cabinets with smooth top styling (presumably from other makers besides Victor) were far more popular.
Still, the VV-330 is an interesting conversation piece, and probably fits better against a wall than its tall, thin cousins. My VV-XVI took up a lot of room due to clearance needs behind it so the top could be fully tilted back. This post was last edited 11/21/2017 at 19:02 | ||

I have about 3 dozen of my parents old 78"s and I still have the Micromatic Magnavox but cant be bothered to listen to them any more. Doggie in the window always made me wanting a puppy that never changed with the 6th shelter dog. Max, my newest rescue dog that spent most of his life in a crate. He never will again.

Like Children, I've never understood why people would take on pets when they don't have to. As a Catholic, I believe that God remembers those who care for His animals. Thank you- | ||

Disposable pets....
one example as my brother got his daughter a bunny for Easter.....two weeks later, she lost interest and he was set to release it out into the woods or take it to a shelter.... Oh, HELL NO!.....you adopted that pet, you take care of it for life, and she is to take care of it like it was a family pet.... you can't do stuff like that with me around, or that I know about it.... yes, I got chicks and ducklings for our kids during Easter.....but as they got bigger, they went out into the yard with the rest of the animals.... I could never kill or eat my own animals, too much personality to hurt any one of them.... | ||
