A friend of mine recently inherited quite a few gramophones (I think it was 9 in total) and I went round for a listen and to marvel at how absolutely beautiful they all are. I thought the tins for the needles were also amazing.

Lovely! Love the sound of these older machines, I have a Dansette :)
ReplyDeleteA Dansette - how wonderful! I loved the way these had to be wound up. The sound was indeed amazing!
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome! The pictures are so lovely! Also, I thought the last picture was a butter packet, and was pleasantly surprised-- So far I've never seen a record player or a gramophone in real life, but I want to SO bad!

Lovely! My grandmother's record player is waiting for me for when I move into my own place! I can't wait to have my own space sans roommates so I can play records! Very jealous at the moment. :)
ReplyDeleteWow. How much fun that must have been. Love.

ReplyDeleteThey are really gorgeous. And I love the blurry colors against the yellow tin case in the last photos.
ReplyDeleteLovely, Kate! Especially the little tins.
ReplyDeleteThe sunday flea market I haunt has a chap who sells gramophones, he plays records to show they work and it makes for a lovely soundtrack to my sunday thrift.
Oh I bet. Hearing them really transports you back in time. Such a joy!
