Old Victrola

Anyone out there have an old Victoria along with your serious gear?

Going back to home music reproduction in it's simplest form?

I find them to be beautiful pieces of audio history.

I think it's really cool to occasionally forget the fancy kit, take out an old fox trot or waltz 78, wind that crank and plunk that big needle down. Then take your sweetheart by the hand, pull her close and do slow turns around the living to that scratchy, yet somehow romantic old timey sound.

Dig out old Dan's records
Bring out old Dan's records
We're all here, we've all got dates
We'll dance all night to the seventy-eights
If old Dan could see us now
I know he'd be so proud
If old Dan were with us still
I know he'd come around
