Its a crank up with original finish and an upright floor modle about l9l7. Plays well sometimes the spring makes a noise. It was my grand mothers. Victor made the Victrola with the dog ad on it. And their radio was Radiola....later RCA Victor ....We had Comumbia also which used the name Gramophone...We I have a few posted .......no video actually tho.
Many thanks for the kind comment!I dont know very much other than it is a His Masters Voice 145-"orthophonic"from about 1930.I have a large number of 78s but small compared to others on here!Do you have many?
You are clever to tell its him-i'm useless but yes it does sound like him.LOL re the carpet!-these are such good recordings in my book,why i'm such a Somers fan.

Wow! It's Stanley Kirkby! I never knew he sang with Debroy Somers.
I wish all 78s where made in a public hall. Can you imagine if Somers had recorded for Decca? This would have well been fully carpeted lol!
