Welcome to the Lounge, Scorp! And thanks for sharing your "new" Victrola with us. It sounds like you got a very good deal on it.
I have a passion for listening to swing, big band, and jazz on older, truly vintage equipment as well. Glenn Miller really just does not sound right unless...
I'm tempted to say the top hat too. Generally, it appears you only see those on very special occasions from a select few, or you see them in the theatre.
If I understand correctly, you mean TMC as the Hat Channel, right?
I've seen hats with the bow on the back. I'm sure others here could give a more specific time frame, but hats with the bow towards the back seem to have been another option for fedoras. Maybe it just didn't catch on as well...
That's a nice one, Alan! I remember seeing it posted in the classifieds section. If it had been my size, I might have considered it. Be sure to let us see you wearing it!
Wow, I had no idea I had the same model as featured in the movie. I just looked up screenshots and realized it. Sort of a fascinating coincidence. I simply bought that one because I love the design of it.
I definitely agree with the comment about confidence. The idea of being original is also very addicting. Those two things make it impossible to go back once fedoras have hooked you.
You have a great look, jpbales.
I've seen that one before. It's impractical, but interesting none the less.
I know a lot of people in my generation that use their cell phones as their watch. If I sit and think about it long enough, it does make sense to use your cell phone as your watch instead of carrying a pocket...
I second that. I got mine "fixed" (I built the kit version and it had a few problems) within the past week, and have been enjoying it immensely. My old radios wouldn't see any action if it weren't for the transmitter; I don't listen to modern radio more than a few times a year.
