Tristan might find some of the free articles on the Antique Phonograph Society to be helpful, especially this one:

Thanks for the link. I sent it to Tristan with an invite for he and his father to join. They both have the phonograph bug.

I'm very encouraged by reading this thread. I've been saying for the past 25 years that we need to attract more younger people to our hobby.

Happy to see another young person getting into this hobby thanks to the generous help of a seasoned collector. As one of the younger enthusiasts on the east coast (I'm 17 ) it's always nice to know others are out there mentoring. I feel the best thing for the youth of the hobby is for the more experienced to be as much of a teacher as possible, minus the pop quizzes!

Great to hear about your interest in old phonographs Liam. It is a great hobby and there is so much to learn.

That is AWESOME! When I was 14 If I asked for something like that I would get a big fat “NO!” As a response. Took me until I was almost 26 to get my first DD machine! Enjoy it kid!

Hey! That guy looks like me!

Thanks again Ken, the machine is wonderful and works really well.

I am very glad you got the phonograph. I think you, and your Father, are hooked. Just remember, there is always room for one more.
