It can indeed be an addictive hobby. They worm their way into your heart. I am at that "how can I possibly find space to squeeze in just one more" stage.

I have to agree with the regulars-----you face addiction and smaller living quarters. The user name Melbourne, I think Australia and attending the Wayne Show, I think you live in the New Jersey area? If I'm right on any of these---what kind of phonograph do I win? Ha Ha. Best of enjoyment on the early mechanical machines and the early start of recorded music.
