My June 2018 "The Antique Phonograph" arrived today!

Post by barnettrp21122 »

Yay! Quite a turnaround from from the late arrival of my March 2018 issue. I'd thank someone at the post office but I doubt they're aware of such efficiency! :lol:
It's a rainy day today, so I'll enjoy the articles and pictures right away! Thanks to all involved with this great publication!

I think the real credit goes to Rene Rondeau, who cracked the whip on the authors and got this issue to the printers about 3 weeks ago! Admittedly, another APS Board member (not me) kept the heat up on the printer so this issue was mailed out May 8. Whatever it takes... :)

In addition to pushing the deadline back much farther than usual, we're also testing a different and more expensive pre-sorted mailing class to see if that helps with the processing and delivery by the post office. Hopefully everyone will receive their issue before the June cover date!

Mine arrived this morning! I'm looking forward to enjoying it later this evening or tomorrow (when it's raining).

Still waiting for mine. I have no idea why it takes so long for us on the West Coast. Especially since these come from CA.

These are actually mailed out from Wisconsin. :)

You should be getting yours very soon, Harvey. The steps taken to insure timely delivery seem to be working. After all, this issue isn't due until June!

I'll ditto that. Mine always arrives around the same time as yours, Harvey, and ,I, too, am just up the road :roll: :roll: .
