A Message To "Upcyclers"

Jerry Donnell would have had some choice words for those "upcycler" clowns! They'd be best left unprinted. edisonplayer

Here is another suggestion for collectors who have common machines that want to "re-cycle" them:

If the phonograph is in playable condition, or can be fixed with minor repairs, offer it for little or no cost to a young collector or someone new to the hobby. They may see it as a wonderful old machine worth preserving. Collectors could also consider taking a phonograph that has little or no value to them to a phonograph show and offering it for free to someone just getting started in the hobby. Remember to include a few of the records typically played on it too with some needles.

To use a pun, this is my opinion, just for the record.
