Has anyone given any thought to creating a registry for all electola/radiola electrola machines amongst this group?
Would be fun to see how many of each kind are out there. Hopefully someone with better computer skills than myself.

Re: Electrola registry
Are you talking about just Victor products, or would it include all radio/phonos from the late 20s such as Edison?

Re: Electrola registry
Compared to the acoustic machines,the total number of these things left is so small I think Edisons,Spartons, Columbia Kolsters,Sonora Meladons,Brunswick Panatropes and whatever I have yet to discover could all be included with out being an insurmountable task.marcapra wrote:Are you talking about just Victor products, or would it include all radio/phonos from the late 20s such as Edison?
The straightforward acoustic machines designed to play electric recordings is a different matter..kind of like rolling a stone up a hill.

Re: Electrola registry
When you say "registry", would that be a Model/Serial No. list from anyone who is willing to submit, or are you talking a list of Make/models only? Also, any suggestions on what the beginning and ending years might be? I would be interested in contributing to such list, in exchange for the full list and any updates.

Sounds like an interesting project ....But I am getting a sore back thinking of moving sets to get serial numbers etc....My range suggestion would be 1926 to 33 thirty five at the latest all makers welcome

Somewhere I have a mirror on a stick...
Seriously, how about a smartphone camera on a selfie stick?
