That looks like it was a cracking show

Yes, i don't think I have seen it that full in quite some time. I was not in the market for a machine this time, but picked up some stuff and brought home lots of records for very reasonable cost. Also found matching folders for me late L-door XVI. And met lots of nice people like always. A good day for me.

Thanks for the pics Rich. I hope everyone enjoyed them as much as I did.

Rich,
Thanks for the pictures. Did you find anything to bring home? I noticed some real rare pieces in the pictures. They didn't have prices on them. Were they just for show?

I was very tempted by the Home Suitcase Polyphone machine for $8000, but the only thing i came home with was an Edison Schubert. Just don't know why.

Hi Rich,

Thanks a million for the pictures...I was just too far south to make it...Who had the polyphone and the Kalamazoo Duplex for sale? Did they sell at the show?

Thanks again!!

Joe

Thanks for the pictures! I too was unable to make it

Nice Pictures, Rich !

My buddy and I drove-out from Scranton, arriving around 9:30 AM, and staying till about 1:30 PM...


Got a nice bag-full of supplies from Mr. Sitko, a bunch of grubby but useable tone-arms and reproducers for some Grafonola projects, some records ( of course ! ), and looked at lots of neat stuff !


I was pleasantly surprised to see several machines with Bettini Micro-Attachments ( one, a Columbia ! ), and a big Graphophone with the Higham reproducer... it was missing some of the wooden cabinet rails and mouldings, and needed a lot of love, but I think all the important parts were present.

The weather was terrific, and it was a grand day out !

I remember seeing a few unusual disc machines at the show that don't normally show up there, probably because of size... this was a nice change, considering the typical dominance by smaller tabletop things. there was a decent Pathé actuelle in oak, an edison schubert (refinished)... but there was another, what seemed to be an australian machine with swiss components, a beltona? it looked like a small drop-front desk, but inside was a phonograph... the drawers below were actually doors that concealed the horn opening. it was pretty neat, but I didn't see a price... might anyone else have? also, I thought I just saw this exact same machine sell on ebay for about 450, the seller was in pa, item number 231523810071.
