Cincinnati Ohio area phonographs for sale?

Post by gsphonos »

Hello everyone. I am in Cincinnati Ohio tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday morning. Any collectors out this way or good shops with phonograph items/cylinders for sale? I will be in Columbus this Wedneday afternoon before catching a night flight back to Los Angeles. Didn't think of posting this until just now. Any input appreciated. So far have seen an Edison Standard model A, a home, a VV VI, and a number of off-brand phonographs, and a number of cylinders, albeit just common ones. Certainly a change over Southern CA where you usually find next to nothing, and if you do, they want a fortune for common stuff. Here the prices I have seen seem rather reasonable.

There always seems to be a good bit on craigslist for those cities. I'm from the Pittsburgh area so I check them out from time to time but I don't know any specifit dealers.

Mike,
I live about 50 miles downriver from Cincinnati and am there for one reason or another three or four times a year. There isn't anywhere specific I can send you. The big mall out Reading Road sometimes has phonos. One of the members of this board scored an oak A-250 there a few months ago. There's another board member, Sonnyphono, who lives in Columbus and keeps close tabs on that area.

Thank you moxiemama and John! I did go to the Reading Road antique mall and they had a good sampling of upright machines, some music boxes, and about 30 or so cylinders and as many diamond discs. I didn't find anything I needed but was surprised that the cylinders were mostly better titles--vaudeville, etc. I had fun looking! Thanks for the tip.
