Shawn & Scott,

I like your concise summaries.

Here's mine from my TMF profile:

Edison Cylinder Phonographs, especially high-end external horn and early Amberola models, Pre-1915 Edison Disc Phonographs, Pre-1915 Victor Talking Machines, especially high-end external horn models, Berliners, Columbia Cylinder Graphophones, Pathephones and miscelaneous gramophones, all types of pre-1930 cylinders and discs, related accessories and advertising.

Probably not as well focused as yours but if everyone posted a summary like yours, or mine above, to thier profile, it would be a great way to see what everyone's main interests are ;)

My rule is pretty simple. Except for reords, I'm done, and I'm extremely choosy about records too. Recently, a friend who was moving gave me a Victrola she had, but since she was forced to give it away, and I only took it so some stranger would wouldn't take it from the curb, I don't count it.
