Several Comments

I was really surprised, many of the forum members will comment on a new issue when it comes out and I did not see one on this issue-and it was great!Robert Feinstein's article about the Bettini recordings was so good that I almost thought about giving him one of mine...but I don't have any either!!! And while I do not own one, George's report on the Type GG was outstanding, but George I cannot wait 45 years to find one- that would make me just a bit over 115 and I do not think I am going to make that, unless they figure out how to replace a lot more of our parts. But as they say "ya just never know".Add to that Bob's article on Herzog Art Furniture and all the other article's in the issue and you have a truly outstanding magazine.
Did anyone see the new movie trailer on the Current Wars-or the movie itself-it is for better or worse about our hero,or not Thomas Edison!
And another comment I saw was that perhaps we should have a heading for Radio/Phonograph combinations-I second that. There are a number of us that have morphed into that area, and I have been noodling about on the antique radio forum, reading (not really understanding it all) and have ventured into that area even doing a bit of that work myself. Its all a learning process like redoing spring motors, reproducers and touching up finishes. It expands the hobby, adds new interest and may get some additional members to join.
This hobby IS alive and well!
