The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

A new must-have for the Berliner collector.

Fantastic job, Shawn! I'm very impressed.

Could anyone who pasted those instructions on the bottoms of these machines, 125 years ago, have ever imagined not only the importance of these papers, but the technology now employed to restore and recreate them?

Nice restoration, Shawn...

Shawn, are you going to print some of these up? I would gladly pay you for one. This way you can reimburse yourself for the time involved....great job. James Manker

Thanks James!!

I appreciate the thought. I got out of the paper business about 5 years ago. I restored this image so anyone who wanted to have it can download and print it.

Be well.

Shawn

Very nice. Thank you for sharing!

One final tip: print this on a color laser printer for more lasting results and coat the final print with a light coat of amber shellac for permanence and patina...
