Who Wants to Learn About Antique Phonographs?

Post by phonogfp »

Well, I do!

That's why I'm a member of the Antique Phonograph Society. As a member, I receive the 52-page full-color quarterly journal (The Antique Phonograph) full of informative articles and ads from the foremost suppliers and auctioneers in our hobby. Plus I receive access to the nearly 20,000 (twenty thousand!) pages of documents dating from 1890 to the present in the searchable online archive.

If you're not an APS member, or haven't yet renewed for 2018, you can become a member in less than a minute right here:

Just click the "Join Us" button to get started.

Best wishes to all for 2018 - -

When I query the online searchable archive with a search-string of

"George Paul"

nearly every modern-day article is referenced.


What's up with that? :D

Ha! Clearly an inferior search engine. ;)

I have been collecting for 60 years (I started young!) and am still learning. What knowledge I have I do my best to share with others, and researching my posts for this forum helps to keep my memory active.

Some say that you lose a few brain cells every day as you get older, and at my age I cannot afford any mistakes!

The modest cost of an APS membership is money well spent. Jerry Blais
