Buy with confidence -- here are unsolicited e-mails from recent customers: Hello Tim, Just to let you know I received the Edison Fireside player on Monday.... right on time. It's sure a beauty! Just what I've been looking for. It was so well packed that it took me half an hour to extricate all the bits and pieces and get it set up. First cylinder I played was "Yankee Doodle Dandy" by Billy Murray. Just think, after nearly a hundred years brought back to life on the original player! Can't help but muse on the miracle it must have been at the turn of the last century. Believe it or not, the power went out here the next day for about 4 hours, so I spent the afternoon in front of the fire, with the Edison Fireside bringing back the old music. -- M.H., WA

Tim, We received the “Victor E” and it was a huge hit. The kids, my husband and I just loved it. I am not used to buying something so expensive unseen but it was a wonderful experience. My kids are 16 and 12 and into today’s world, when there is free time and computer games are waiting and TV show pre-recorded and ready to watch, it was a wonderful experience to sit as a family and listen to records their great grandmother had collected. Many thanks for your guidance. Warm regards, S.H., CA

I UNDERSTAND WHAT A "CYLINDER" RECORD IS BECAUSE OF ITS DISTINCTIVE APPEARANCE. BUT WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A "78," A "33" AND A "45" FLAT DISC RECORD?

The instruments we sell are NON-ELECTRIC and play "78 rpm" records. These records were made between 1900 and 1960 and represent a WIDE range of music, primarily popular hits, but also blues, jazz, classical, Operatic may be found. "78s" were pressed from SHELLAC.

"33"s (actually 33 1/3 rpm records) arrived MUCH later and they play on more modern electric Hi Fi or Stereo sets. "33"s are pressed from vinyl. No antique phonograph is can play a "33."

"45"s were introduced about the same time as "33"s, and they also play on electric Stereo sets. "45"s are pressed from vinyl.

"Mr Fabrizio: I received the little Amberola today. I can truthfully say that I have never seen an antique phonograph as mint as this one. It plays great , and the wood grain is beautiful. I have never seen a packaging job this good too! Opening it was like conducting an archaeological dig. Thanks again!" C.W., AL

"Tim, I wanted to tell you how thrilled I am to have purchased the Edison player from you. It's a beautiful machine. It's everything you said it was. The sound is incredible. I wake up in the morning and put a cylinder on and enjoy. Thank you so much for all your help. I look forward to making another purchase from you in the near future." G.C., MD

I am just happy beyond belief. -- M.W., KS

How our clients feel:

The Victor MS with spear tip horn arrived early Christmas eve, and I couldn’t be happier. Of course I had to open it early; Your machines are always packed with as much care as an Egyptian pharos mummy, and unwrapping it takes an afternoon in itself. Just cutting into the box, and then getting that first whiff of furniture polish and machine oil brought a tear to my eye and had me shaking with anticipation. After assembly I could only stand back and marvel at just how beautiful it is. A true work of art, it makes my Victor VI look anemic. The way your artisans matched the new finish on the case with the old on the horn is nothing short of genius. And it sounds just as sweet as it is aesthetic. Many thanks for another fabulous machine, and my best to you this new year, -- J.H., OR

Got it today... WHAT a nice Machine! I'm very happy. It was worth every dime and then some. It's a great restoration. I restore classic German cars for a living and I can certainly appreciate the workmanship. Even my WIFE thinks it's cute... and that, my friend, is saying something. -- G.S., OR

My Edison GEM cylinder phonograph arrived today as promised, and I just could not be any happier. Your packing was perfect, and the GEM plays like, well, a gem! I'm so glad I decided to purchase from you instead of taking my chances on eBay. The restoration work you did was astonishing, and was obviously performed with care and respect. The player is mechanically perfect and retains all of the charm that it has earned over its 98 year lifetime. Honestly, this is one of my best purchases ever! -- G.N., TN

I just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with my Victor. A short while ago a neighbor stopped by and the first thing noticed was the Victor. As described, it's a big and imposing machine which never fails to bring a smile to all who have heard and seen it. Great job on the machine and to be frank, I have never seen anything shipped with such care.

"Ok - you're right - I don't need a new needle... I was about to send it in to another company for something that wasn't even wrong! You're the only one that challenged whether or not I needed that piece! Thank you." - J. H.

"I got the machine today in wonderful shape. It's really beautiful. It was delivered to my office, where I set it up and put a record on it - Elvis "That's All Right" 1955. I didn't realize how loud it would be. In about 20 seconds there was a dance party in the hallway. We followed that with the flip side - "Blue Moon of Kentucky" (original version, of course!) We made it through a Billie Holiday and a Tex Ritter before my secretary put a stop to our fun." - R.C.

"Thank you for the info and advice. You could have snowed me into buying a replacement, instead, you told me the truth. It is much appreciated." -J.
