Do you work on and repair phonographs and horns?Holodisc wrote: Wed Nov 19, 2025 8:36 pm I’m 26, not exactly young anymore, haha, but I’m a new collector. Video games like Fallout have played a big role in getting people my age interested in older music, even if that interest doesn’t always lead to buying the phonographs.
I loved playing with my Grandma’s Victrola, especially her copies of Easter Parade and Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition. I’m grateful my Grandpa let me keep them; he just turned 88 this month and is doing well.
So far I’ve picked up an Edison Standard B, Columbia BE, Edison Fireside A, Edison Amberola DX, Brunswick Panatrope, and my Victrola XVI. hoping to add more soon if space allows![]()

I also don't know if I could count as young at 27 any more, but this is a great idea to keep both the hobby and the website alive! Thanks for opening this.

I am the same age as the speed at which the majority of my records revolve, but still collecting.

Jerry, you are still young... age is a relative thing. I count anniversaries of past birthdays...
