Around 1968, a collector who was closing out his collection sold me a Model D Home, with floor crane, Horn, C and H reproducers all for $35.00. I still have them.

I have really enjoyed the recent stories of all the great finds and I would like to pose a somewhat similar question. What is your best find passed on to you with little or no profit from another collector? Our hobby is filled with many fine collectors that give back to the hobby. What has been given or passed to you? My story...In June, about ten years ago, I was moping around the house because I was unable to attend Union. On the weekend of the sale, I received a phone call from Darrell Lehman and he said that he found a machine for me. He said to imagine a typical Victrola...now take off the lid...now take off all the doors and the sides...imagine a skeleton of a cabinet with the motor housed in half of a tin sphere with the horn suspended below the motor. Can you tell what machine he found? He found me a #1 Keen-O-Phone. Was there ever a cheaper upright machine made? The price at Union was low and he even brought it home for me.
