High Desert Chainsaw & Antique Museum

High Desert Chainsaw & Antique Museum This is the start of my dream of having a chainsaw and tool museum. For now it will be a virtual museum.

I'm always looking for donations of vintage chainsaws and tools.

I finally got my 1929 Keil Radio Table moved in the house. It's not operational yet but does make noise. In the meantime, it's a great place to put a table top phonograph.

Not really antique but definitely old. I also like these old two way radios from the 70's. I will hook this up in my truck once I get the power figured out.

The phonograph purists are gonna hate me for this but I decided to put some red felt on the Victrola VI. I got tired of the same old boring green. IMHO, the red actually looks good against the cherry finish.

A lady I know here in my town owns the storage units here. She had some units get abandoned. One of them was full of railroad stuff. She gave a bunch to me and still has some stuff left to give me too. She gave me two of these 1969 calendars. The calendar is actually right in 2025

As a phonograph collector, there's a few things that bug the hell out of me while surfing Marketplace or Craigslist. First off, Victrola is a brand, not a general term for a phonograph. Second, just because it's old doesn't mean it's valuable. Tabletops and uprights hold their value better than consoles. The console units were big heavy space taker uppers and aren't popular with collectors. Your big heavy console is not worth $1000, stop trying. Also, your beat up, parts missing phonograph isn't worth anything. Stop asking so much and once again, not everything is a Victrola. Here's some examples of phonographs that AREN'T Victrolas.

A while back I picked up this 1913 Victrola VV-IV with intensions of restoring it. Well I finally finished it.
