Trip from Texas to Pennsylvania, Looking to meet collectors

Post by Dustie89 »

Looks like I'll be leaving April 21st from Mount Pleasant Texas headed to Pittsburgh Pensylvania to pick up a machine. Will head back from Pittsburgh on the 23rd. Looking to meet collectors during the trip. Always enjoy meeting new people and seeing collections. If anyone thinks they may be on the way during the trip let me know.

Thanks
Dustin Ellis

I've been to the area of Charollette and met a few collectors, thought about making a detour or coming by on the way to Union even. Several collectors in that area.

I only have 4 machines Edison 1-A, 1906 standard, C-19, and Orthophonic-Radiola combo. but I do live about one or two miles from the intersection of I-83 and the Baltimore Beltway and there are many lodging facilities etc. in the area.

I live in what is called the Potomac Highlands area of West Virginia. Pittsburgh is about a 4 hour drive from me. I have a small collection, but you're very welcome to stop by. PM me for my address and phone number if you think it's something that would interest you.

I know I will be going through West Virginia. What is a town you live in or is close by?
