That's a great video immortalizing a wonderful collection. It makes you wonder
where all of that stuff is today? Maybe it's just me, but when I look at my
phonographs, I can't help but think of all of their previous owners and how
they all enjoyed listening to them. Someone bought each one of them new and now
I "own" them or should I say, just look after them - until the next owner comes
along... a never ending cycle.
