Our New Old Phonograph

Yesterday Joey and I went to an auction.  We made out like bandits, although most of our purchases will require "before and after" photos.  We bought a fantastic old camel-back trunk (needs some work), two nice, comfy armchairs (need to be reupholstered), a rocking chair (needs some work), a 1955 phonograph/hi-fi (radio needs some new tubes but the phonograph works...and just a few scratches that we can fix), and an accordion (needs a little tuning up)--all for $145 plus tax!  We'll do some before & after shots of some of our projects, but here is one of our phonograph.  We've had such a fun time with it already!  We had a little record party with Mom & Dad and Joey's mother tonight.  We had appetizers and looked through a bunch of 45s that came with the phonograph and through records we had and Mom & Dad brought a couple of records over.  It was 1955 all over again.
