Phonograph Jeopardy

Post by Shawn »

One of the fun things we've done at the phonograph shows is to play Phonograph Jeopardy. We load up the big screen, or chrome cast with a projector on a bed sheet an interactive Jeopardy game full of great Phonograph facts and fun.

Well we, can't do that right now, so I created a Jeopardy Game using our last game board that you can watch, and participate with, just like on TV. Except, this is all about Antique Phonographs and the people who collect them!!!

Thanks for the mental image of Jerry Madsen. You can never "poke out" the mind's eye.

I loved the Union show Jerry Madsen question. It cracked me up. I think Darrell Lehman may have done the same thing from across the room years ago. Jerry was always a favorite of mine at the show.

Nice diversion for a few minutes. Thanks for making it and posting it. It made my day.

I also have great memories of Jerry Madson. He always had wonderful smalls at reasonable prices with an unusual machine or two on his table. A friend expressed interest in a Columbia AB late in the sale but said he was short of cash. If my memory is correct the friend offered a small downpayment and asked that the machine be shipped when fully paid. Jerry replied and suggested he would take three post dated checks and to take the machine immediately. He promised not the cash the checks early.

Thanks, Shawn

It's now raining in Portland (what's new?), so Jeopardy gave me a break from quarantine. Who can forget Jerry Madsen? And, yes, the image is still in my mind after all these years. I think most of my unusual needle tins and related smalls came from him. Stan

I never played Phono Jeopardy, but I did buy needles and numerous smalls from Jerry M. Alas, he's fully dressed in this picture, but like many folks, once you saw him shirtless, that image was permanently burned into your memory. :shock:

I got 13 right and 17 wrong. :? I’ve only been seriously in the hobby since 2016, and my lack of transportation and money at times are reasons I can’t go to shows or auctions. So I guess I get a pass? I still have a lot to learn.
