Victrola Record Player

This week-end, while in Sonoma for the filmfest, I meandered into an antique shop and discovered a 1923 Victrola VV-80 record player. A fairly common record player in its day, Steph and I were both intrigued so we decided to snap it up. Bill hauled the thing back to Sacramento for us in the back of his Chevy Aveo and we got it working. While we don't know much about using the thing we're able to get music out of it.



It has a metal plate on it that says Wurlitzer San Francisco. I'm not sure if that signifies that the things was bought at a Wurlitzer store in San Francisco???

Anyway, we like the thing.
