The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I think that we do not have to worry about being ‘hacked’ by admins that ban themselves...and sheer outbursts of crazy are to be prevented.

Currently, though, we’re moderating all guest posts, so that should stop the vast majority of the crap—the only concern is the spammer who actually verifies their e-mail address to post without moderation.

To prevent that, I just replaced the ‘CAPTCHA’ images with text questions (to which I’ll be adding more—they’re randomized). The current ones are:

Which of the companies below did not make machines discussed on this forum?
(Pick one: Brunswick, Edison, Pizza Hut, Victor)

Which of the brands below is unlikely to be discussed in this forum?
(Pick one: Columbia, Edison, HMV, Maas Biolabs)

Which of the names below was not a record label?
(Pick one: Brunswick, Columbia, Edison, Microsoft)

Which of the parts below will you not find in a talking machine?
(Pick one: crank, LCD, motor, spring)

Please do not post answers to these questions on the board.

Although if you have any other good questions, feel free to e-mail or PM them to me.

I should have The Cat in the Hat Horn image done soon...
