This is from Clarence's 1952 catalog. He must have sold quite a bit of stuff to make printing a catalog like this up worthwhile. It's about 30 pages long and he mentions that you can send him a list of titles that you don't see in the catalog and he may be able to help out. And that he has parts for all the machines illustrated throughout the catalog.

Thank you for sharing. It is interesting that he was actually selling these recordings and repairing machines even in the 1950's, by then I would imagine the consumers were older listeners or those that acquired machines that needed them repaired or the records.

I was quite honored to use Mr. Ferguson's tools to work on phonographs, such as spring shaping, and hooking pliers (which make the job of putting springs in much shorter, and safer.) Wish someone would make these again.
