Sweet 1957 RCA Victor "ORTHOPHONIC HIGH FIDELITY" record player in dark mahogany finish. Just got this today from my friend Tony. I cleaned her up, lubricated the changer, and buffed out the wood case with high gloss polish. Look at how beautiful she is! Also added a fresh Astatic 89T powerpoint cartridge with diamond stereo compatible needle. Just listen to the clarity of the highs and that deep base, especially when the lid is closed. Beautiful room-filling sound that the Orthophonic is so famous for!

Every once in a while I receive a Youtube message expressing shock (sometimes in very unkind words) that I would play my records on an old phonograph as many people assume that these old machines destroy records. I respond to these messages but I decided that it would be more convenient to post an explanation to which I could refer people. I should add that all of my remarks apply as well to the HMV/Electrola versions of the American Victor Orthophonic as there are several Youtubers who post using these machines.

Well, here is another of my amateur attempts. I hope these will get better in time and practice! This is a great record played on a great machine! "My Pretty Girl". The disc has a bad dig in one spot, but I still wanted to share. It gives you an idea as to just how loud an 8-9 is, too!
