Re: Sad demise for a brass orthophonic reproducer.

The GSP system is a mess. I hope the reproducer is re-listed by someone simply so that it may be used again instead of ending up in a landfill, even though I believe it is a form of theft.
A few years ago I lost a check-in bag flying with British Airways. It was full of precious 78's which I intended to hand carry but was forced by BA staff to check it in.. BA said it was lost and I did not qualify for any compensation. 2 months later, I found my records being sold by an auction house in London. I had to bid on them and thankfully bought my own records back again for a minimal sum. There was nothing else I could do about it. I was just so glad to get the records back. It was shocking to see what BA were auctioning off and pocketing the money. They obviously had no intention of finding the real owners. Most of the bags even had the owners names and addresses clearly marked on them.
