Groop

I had the pleasure of restoring this Edison Table top version of the
victrola.  It was the ipod of its day and caught the interest of many
of my drop in customers.  I replaced the speaker cloth with a stash
of old speaker cloth I had in storage, cleaned with murphy's and
mineral spirits and applied several thin coats of shellac and a coat
of paste wax, all the while I listened to a comedy routine about
doctors on the old wax tube.
