The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I need to see copies (or gain photocopies/scans of relevant pages) of issues from the late 1980s in which the then-editor produced some essays on the Edisonic phonographs that incorporated data he had gathered from Edisonic-owning readers. This is for my "Inventory of Beethoven and Schubert Edisonic phonographs" database (see one of the strings below).

Hope some of the long-term collectors out there have sets. I'd be happy to pay for photocopies, scans, or even buy some/all of the issues if you're willing to sell.

Thanks!

I have a lot of these. In fact, when Martin (Bryan) offered copies of the back issues about 25 years ago I purchased as many of them as I could get - and then I promptly packed them away. Some early issues were unavailable. I will try to carve out some time to dig them out but I'm sure other members have copies at hand. My collection of the back issues is buried in a large closet with lots of stuff in front of them. It may take me a while to find the one(s) you are interested in seeing.

Thanks, Doug!!!

Martin Bryan seems to be MIA. However, John Nagy has some back issues available:

I have a large run too, and perhaps some duplicates. It would take me a little bit of time to sort them out. could you be more specific about the date range of the issues you seek, or do you perhaps know which issue numbers?

Best wishes, Mark

Thanks, Mark. I understand that the July 1987 issue is particularly helpful, but there might have been issues before and after that also made use of the same information provided by readers/subscribers who were also Edisonic owners.

I see you found that post where I quoted From the New Amberola Graphic. I'll scan the article and send it to you. I have a complete run of the Graphic.

Jim, I should have thought you might still have your issues of that publication--duh.

Please do send anything that pertains to that particular Edisonic survey that was done for that publication. I'm hoping to incorporate as many serial numbers as were reported there (with descriptions, if present), so that we may at least know that those particular machines were still extant in 1987. My regular e-mail is [email protected]

Much appreciated!

He's still on Earth; I just bought some needles from Mr.B .
