Outstanding!

That's fantastic. Thank you for taking the trouble to make this video 😊

Very cool! Seems kinda rough the way it flips the next-to-be-played record on the right hand side, from leaning right, to leaning left, by pinching the edge. . . sounds like that last one being played got cracked; probably best for playing laminated Columbias. . . Very cool to see in action, thanks for the vid!

Fantastic machine!

Beautiful machine ever made. Was a luxury not many people can afford it doing the depression 1930s era when stock market when dropped.

Wow never saw that before.

The changer mechanism is from 1932 and later, but the particular model is actually postwar construction, produced between 1946 and 1949. It was basically a "recycling" of older spare parts after the end of the war. A total of 302 units were produced; it was one of the most expensive models ever produced by Nipppn Columbia during the 78 days and it was mostly sold to big dance halls, cafes, and other commercial establishments.

Woe I've never seen that changer before,, that's impressive !!

👍👍

Help! I have a 225 and need help restoring it.

Why is this called the "History of the phonograph"? The record player you showed was NOT a phonograph (invented by Edison), but a GRAMOPHONE (invented by my great-grandfather, Emile Berliner! Please label this correctly!!!!

What great to see and hear luis amstrong

What a beautiful set .... can that play LPs too....the radio in it must great.....fm and bc and sw.....on fm is 40 to 50 mc i bet it will get Australia from Hawaii or California... with a Good antenna

Brings to mind the Twilight Zone Season 2.Episode 20 ∙ "Static"

Great music

Great to see it work. Greetings from Amsterdam the netherlands

Genuine time travel. Great photography too, thanks.

Would like to have seen the chassis and speaker in the rear.

I can't even begin to imagine how much this must have cost when new. It was probably the equivalent to a modern new car.

Made when Zenith really meant their slogan "The Quality Goes in Before the Name Goes On"

Thanks

That's cool!

Surprisingly low surface noise

A Jewel

Thank you for this wonderful video

I have a model 16, but the bottom doors are "L" shaped. It has the owners manual and the pull out shelf that the seller told me is often missing. I bought it in New Hampshire about 25 years ago. The seller had quite a variety of old machines, some of which he demonstrated.

Awesome! Please tell me the name and artist of the last song? Cutie....? Love it👍

I would wager some records cracked or had a hunk fly out with that rough changer!

"Victrola" also exists in name only today, as a brand of cheap Chinese-made "all-in-one" units.

Before the modern high-fidelity era with separate high-end products, which began after World War 2, there was, basically, one line of radios and record players from the major manufacturers, ranging from inexpensive to top-of-the-line. This would, no doubt, have been one of RCA's most expensive units; it would have been found in upper-middle-class and wealthy households.

I bet those hefty tonearms put a few new clicks and pops on every record they played, every time they played it. And I love the gentle treatment of the records lol.

"This nation was suddenly and deliberately attacked..."

THOSE were radios. They had beauty and grandeur.

Deluxe home radios like this one included the old police band, which broadcast in AM. Calling all cars.

Hoagy Carmichael wrote "Stardust" as an uptempo jazz number in the late 1920s. Mitchell Parrish added lyrics later.

RCA was the world leader in electronics for many years; it developed the 45-r.p.m. record, and color television. Today, sadly, it's just a name for low-quality stuff made in China.

When audio equipment was also furniture. RCA was cognizant of the need for equipment to fit room decor, and marketed its products accordingly. For example, it offered the same TV picture tube and chassis in differently-styled cabinets, with different model names.

An incredible machine unlike what is is being manufactured today

Simply a great piece of art and engineering, I loved it with all my heart! How much I would like to have one of this in my home to play my 78s...

Awesome!👍

Was that the last true Victor radio? After that chassis they were RCA I’ve seen the radio chassis and it like nothing else including a large Nipper embossed in the metal

That's just beautiful!!!! Sounds really good and the engineering is incredible.

What a fun collection! I saw that you have a key for one of your players. Love to find one of those for less than first born.

Thats the great late anita oday singing with the swinging gene krupa big band super sound I dig it

Hermosa radio del siglo XX.

Spectacular

❤❤❤

Sensacional!!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Mine has a different changer - i think it's a model 101?

Its remarkable shellac survived with how violent these changers were back then but the 2 side playback is fantastic to see. Lovely item and well worth putting in your hard work and effort for. Bravo!!!!!!
