[Phono-L] Television Trivia - Leave It To Beaver

[Ron L]

I bought my Vic Type 6 (as the ID tag states) with steel and brass horn
about 1971 at an estate auction for $100.  It was not exactly a song and
dance but it was pretty reasonable.

Hi all.  You know, we lovers of vintage phonos can't get away from them even

while watching the old sitcom Leave It To Beaver.  I was going through some 
records this morning and the television just happened to be on.  I just
happened 
to look up and could hardly believe my eyes.  Ward and June were talking in 
front of a gorgeous Victor VI with a speartip horn!  Yep, a Victor VI
machine!  
I called for my bride who happened to be downstairs so that she could see
it. 
 

I immediately did some research on the episode:

The Title: Happy Weekend
Year Ran: 12/25/1958

I wish that I could have been the set director and would have been able to 
make an offer on that 50 year old (at that time) phonograph.  One could have

probably got it for a song and dance (no pun intended).  The only thing is,
I was 
only 1 month and 9 days old at the time.  This means that I turn the big 5-0

myself next month!

Anyway gang, just thought that I'd share this with you.  Take care and God 
bless.
