Anyone ever been to this Phono Swap in Elgin the day before the Union show?

For those that are thinking about attending, here are just a few of the items that turned up at the picnic last year. It was a nice day & there were plenty of things to look at & wish for. I shared these images last year on the old board, but here they are again to refresh your memory.

Wow! What's the upright next to the Pathé?
If anyone wanted to know what tiger stripe oak was, that's the perfect example. The grain is beautiful.
I still think that Edisonic was a fantastic find Sharon. I bet you're glad you grabbed that one

I'm pretty certain that is a Kimball.

What I want to know is who is that Blue Amberol collector next to the phonolamp? LOL! Gary is a remarkable guy . . . tell him the number of a BA and he'll tell you the title, tell him the title and he'll tell you the number. Amazing!

Mark,

Welcome to The Talking Machine Forum!

I’d gotten to see 3victrola’s photos previously, but were not aware that they were from this event (or if I was, I’d forgotten). Are you involved with the event, or were you asking about it to attend this year?

Regrettably, I won’t be going, but it looks like it’s worth checking out based on the photos.

Mark,

hi, great to see you here. Sharon - thanks for re-posting those photos. I'd forgotten just how much a drooled over that tooled leather fronted Credenza the first time around. ALso as shane said that tiger oak machine - beautiful. If this is the quality of the shows in the US, well I just wish I was able to make it to one.
