Wayne show

Post by Dedrums »

Went to the Wayne show today my first one. As a rookie collector it was alot, didn't know we're to look first it was amazing. Found a table top outside horn phonograph my wife and son feel in love with. It looks a little beat up and didn't have the right crank reproducer is all dryed up but I bought it anyway. The guy who sold it to me said see that guy in the brown plad shirt ask him if he can help you with the reproducer. I ask the man for help and not only did he help me with the parts but went totally out of his way to make sure I understood how to fix the reproducer, and change the felt on the turn table,and he dug into his boxes of fittings and found the right crank for the phonograph. I think I drove him crazy but he stuck with me. When I got home looked into my bag of fittings I found his card his name is RONALD STIKO,a great guy so if he is on the forum thanks again you will definitely get more business for me it's good to see there's still good people out there .

So you did make it...
I almost bought that one too, lol...
He was a late arrival to the gathering so he did not get swarmed by the re-sellers.
