My Phonograph Collection

Post by Slaton »

I thought I would share an early version of my website showcasing some of my machines. (I am still learning how to navigate through Wordpress and so some of the format is still under work. For example, I haven't quite figured out how to cluster or order the phonograph collection on the website. Over time, it will get better.)

http://www.edisonphonos.com

I do want to thank my good friend, George Paul, for his generous help in curating the collection. Also, my since thanks to Rene Rondeau and Wyatt Markus who have advised me and taught me a lot over the past many years as I assembled this collection. Hope you enjoy viewing the collection.

Hi Anil, that is one beautiful collection. Did you recently purchase the Edison Standard 2-Clip Suitcase from Roger Shingler? I also have tried to purchase it from him but he said he was keeping it forever probably.

Wonderful collection Anil! I especially love the early Amberolas and the Idelias. If you'd ever like to offer a package deal, I'd be interested. Of course, that lottery ticket needs to have the right serial no. first!

Super cool collection! I can't help but ask, how did you get Charley Hummel to part with Standard #4? (Also - would you be willing to share some detailed photos of same for the Standard Data project?) In any case, thanks for sharing!

Anil,

Your website is looking great! :) Your outstanding collection deserves nothing less. And this is an "early version?" All I can say is, keep up the good work!"
