Rose and Graceys Antique Phonographs
Description
W e are Kevin Adams and Joel Straley, owners of Rose and Gracey’s Antiques. Since 1986, we have specialized in the restoration of antique phonographs and talking machines. The following is a little history about how we got started in antique phonographs.
In 1984, we purchased a 1921 Sonora Elite phonograph with a Bombay cabinet and a mahogany tone arm. After six months of playing perfectly, one of the Sonora’s springs broke. Kevin repaired the broken spring and turned the broken spring dilemma into the start of an antique phonograph obsession.
The obsession was fueled when we purchased an oak 1915 Victor Victrola XVI painted orange with its parts in neatly label bags at a local auction for $35. The Victrola XVI restoration took nearly a month but the machine looked as though it had rolled off the factory floor. Excited by the results of the Victrola XVI restoration, we decided to expand the hobby into an antique phonograph business.
