I have a few loves, this is my Wurlitzer 1100.  It also came to me via my Brother, which originally I was repairing it for him but I ended spending so much time, effort and $$$ on it he ended up gifting it to me for my last birthday.

While it doesn't look "restored to new" it has been operationally restored to new.  I only replaced / repaired what was required because I enjoy the "aged look" of it.  I have many 78 records, I love the history of music media and I also have a Edison Photograph that I restored).  The bulk of my 78s were my great-grandmother's. Her 78 Victrola was one of the 1st items I restored in my mid-teen when I was in wood working shop.  Though many of my records I have gotten in the last couple of years.  There are quite a few rare records in my Wurlitzer, like my Ritchie Valens.  This was pressed at the very end of 78 media and I believe only pressed in Canada.

Oh, I even bought a 50s Typewriter to just make my labels :-)

Very nice! I recently restored an 1100 for a friend.
I still have a half dozen 50,s seburg and ami boxes. Finally finished restoring a seeburg c after having it in storage for 30 yrs. Other hobbies got in the way!my only 78 rpm box has early rock and roll. I think i have more in the records tha.  The box!

I just sold both of my rock ola fireball comets last year. They are nice boxes.
