I love seeing antiques but am not sure I'd want them myself. A lot of antiques are delicate and I'd be afraid I'd damage one by accident. Yes, it is beautiful. I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves with your new friends there.

Yes, it's absolutely lovely. I wonder if it still works. Does it play platters or cylinders?

@JudyEv I believe so, but I could be wrong. Maybe JJ will come along and set us straight, he knows his stuff when it comes to this subject.

Wow that house is like a museum full of old things for display.

I am just sad that they did not keep that old piano and just left it ourside to rot. Anyway hope to see more interesting things that is in that old house full of history.

I think you're replying to a different post but that's okay. There is a player piano in the house. The one in the paddock was brought in from another place when no-one wanted it.

This Antique indeed looks fabulous! Does this still works? These were once the biggest rage of their times. For us, even this image is good and gives a nice idea.

I think it still works but the people aren't here to ask. I don't know why the portrait-style distorted. I haven't had any trouble before.

When people live for several generations in the one house, things just stay put and very little is got rid of.

@JudyEv Yes I have quite a few. Haven't tried any for quite a while though. You have to change the needle after every few sides so that's rather a restricting factor!
