Well, speaking of Lt. Bettini...
There are some very interesting machines listed. A gold plated Q? How cool.

I'd be perfectly happy with the little Edison Home in the mahogany case with banner decal for my birthday. Thank you very much! Jerry

I'll take the Victor V and/or VI, thank you very much. I can practically walk to this place from my house, so I'd have to find an excuse +not+ to go!

This is an amazing collection, does anyone know who the former owner was/is?

Oh my! I'm glad I'm no where near there. I would just end up in lots of trouble.

There's a lever wind Berliner... BUT the REALLY RARE one is the Wizard - when have you seen one of those for sale???

Re: As if I couldn't get in enough trouble at the Wayne show
I beg to differ, the Edison Bijou coin op is a sure show stopper!
I am on the fence about going.....the stuff is "too good" for me, and my wallet won't be able to compete with the other bidders. It would be another social call for me, I'm afraid. So, if anyone wants to share a cup of coffee and shoot the phonograph bull in the back of the gallery while watching the long dollar get spent, I'll be there!

Re: As if I couldn't get in enough trouble at the Wayne show
One sold on eBay recently, I couldn't believe seeing a second one being sold just a few weeks apart. Very cool! I was fortunate enough to see Tim Fabrizio's a couple of months ago, the first one I've ever seen in person!Curt A wrote:There's a lever wind Berliner...

The two(?) Columbia Graphophone BC's in this auction are particularly interesting, also although missing parts for the Higham reproducer.
So many Concert Phonographs in one place, then there are the many Triumphs!
Oye, to have the funds to embark on such an opportunity! Maybe in my next life...
