Introduction...again.

Hi all,
I made my first post on the old/new Talking Machine Forum Tuesday night before everything went dark Wednesday morning so I'll introduce myself again here.
First of all, Neophone and Mordeth really busted a hump this week getting this new board up so THANKS you guys!
I've been hooked on Edison Diamond discs for that last two years after getting my first phonograph, a C-150. I was a very frequent reader of the OTVMMB but didn't post becuase I had more to learn than contribute and I sure learned a lot from all of you and from the archives. Now that we're starting anew and I have some experience I'm looking forward to joining the discussion and building the archives back up. I'll be working on posting some music files of my favorite songs too.
While I started out with a great C-150 in my living room and managed to amass a bunch of DD's from garage sales and estate sales, I found a lonely C-19 locally about a year ago that needed just a little TLC and some elbow grease. Now I'm playing DD's even louder!!
I have to tell you that the Twin Cities are teeming with phonographs. There is something great available here every week. There are two c-19's on Craigslist in the area now. One oak and one mahogany! This must have been a good market in the 20's. I'm meeting a lady this afternoon who has 40 DD's. Can't wait to see what treasures may await!!
I also found a neglected but very solid C-200 Adam a few weeks ago that someone began stripping but luckily didn't ruin. So, I'll post some pics of that project today too. I got it dirt cheap so it will be a fun winter project to refinish.
Anyway, hello and talk to you all soon.
