The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just want to say...

Thank you so much everyone on Yankee Trader and elsewhere that have generously sold me machines, records, given advice etc. A lot of you have helped me in more ways than one, and have talked with me and inspired me more ways than one. One can say it's just selling a machine, but being that this hobby has always been a passion since 18, I finally have the means to build my collection and share these things with my young son. I don't think I could have done it without this forum and you generous people. Mods can delete if they want I know it's not a sale, but I just think this is more than just collecting "stuff" sometimes...or getting monetary things. The community we have is what I love the most. Hopefully one day I'll get to meet some of you! Until then...cheers!

Thanks!

Jacob,

It would be sad indeed if it were just about "things". Thanks for recognizing and commenting on the human side of this fine hobby.

I totally agree. It's a hobby but it's also a great friendship. Looks like email notifications are broken right now so I didn't get any of these!

There are some great people in this hobby. Most of them are here. I have learned so much from the numerous posts, offered advice, found some great items, and sold some items. Let's hope that this Forum continues for a long time.

Yes, and let me ditto that.

Yes, this Forums really brings out the hobby. I can't meet everyone face to face, but with this forum, I feel that I know my fellow collectors very well.
