Our Stratford console also has the record albums.
If you haven't checked yet, there is a 'book' article on the APS website about Brunswick phonographs, by R. J. Wakeman. Full of great history and model information on the Brunswick.

Ed,

I tried looking for the Wakeman info, but couldn't find it. Do you have a link?

The bulk of the APS online library is accessible to members only - BUT the library is temporarily down due to a server hack late last summer. An expanded, updated new website is in the works this winter, but until then the Book Features are not available.

Here's a peek at the upcoming new website:

I recently learned that hundreds of APS members have yet to renew. This will once again necessitate the annual mailing to remind these folks that it's re-up time. This mailing consumes many hours of volunteer time and hundreds of dollars that could otherwise help underwrite the cost of the new website.

If you have not yet renewed for 2022, won't you please do so now?

Thanks,

Just for the record, I'm paid up through '22! Don't want to miss out!!!

Thank you George for the inside information about the APS website.
Unless it changes with the updating, the Wakeman article is under 'Articles', then 'Book Features."
We have renewed our membership through 2023!
Hope everyone else will do the same.

Thank you both!

Another "drawerless" Stratford...
(Ignore the retrofit electric speaker...)

Well, that's got me curious. Is that a magnetic pickup I spot peeking over the wood?
