[thead][/thead]Just one caveat: Come early if going on the last day!

(I drove back today to pick up a couple parts, arrived at 2:00pm, and the venders were all gone or leaving...)

Did anyone catch the asking price on the Edison Doll? Was the mechanism original or replica?
Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if the Victor B sold? If not, I'd live to contact the owner

Thanks in advance

All of these pictures just solidifies the fact that even though they all had a function, the manufacturers went out of their way to make them look like works of art. The woodwork and attention to detail is amazing! Thank you for posting all the pictures.

The double Triumph was an idea to play two cylinders of the same song and take, and while transcribing them to reel to reel, one cylinder would cover the defects of the other for a more true transfer.

This was my first time at Union. It was definitely an experience!

It was awesome to see all the machines and I was super excited about the non-phonograph things there (like the roller organs!). Also good to meet some of you all there.

Great photos everyone!

Matthew
