Holiday Gifts from the Antique Phonograph Society

[phonogfp]

Just in time for your holidays, the APS has added 9 new free videos to the website (for a total of 26!). 4 rare coin-operated talking machines are featured, plus 4 phonograph repeaters, as well as a delightful interview with Little Wonder authority Merle Sprinzen. There are some WONDERFUL things to be seen there. If you haven't visited the Video section of the APS website, do yourself a favor and do so. There's something for everyone.

In addition, if (like me) you were not able to attend the 2014 APS Banquet and Presentations, they are now available on DVD in the Online Shop section of the website.

The first presentation is John Levin's unveiling of his CPS1 cylinder phonograph. The reports I've received (which must suffice until I receive the DVD!) is that John's machine is quite interesting, and has loads of potential for cylinder audiophiles playing different formats. The DVD set also includes a CD with a compilation of 20 early cylinder recordings played by the CPS1. The second presentation is an entertaining look by Tim Fabrizio at the "might-have-beens" of phonographic history. You can read about the set on the website:
