A motley crew indeed! I notice that 4 of the 5 of you have your hands in your pockets to some degree. Does that indicate that you spent so much money that you now have plenty of empty space to put your hands?

Well, I can't speak for everyone else, but when I arrived home, I had $2 left in my wallet!

It sure took a lot of discipline to keep some money in the pockets this time. Let's see, there was the cygnet horn in the back room, an Edison Triumph with auto repeat, a nice Columbia Q and a few interesting off brand outside horn disc machines. Anyway, the house needs too much work done to it this year so I couldn't spend too much of my plywood and sheetrock money. I always pick up a T-shirt from Larry Levitz at the Wayne show and he has added a superb Paul Whiteman shirt to his inventory. I couldn't resist that!

Thanks for posting the picture. It was great to meet all of you in person! I just wish I could have joined you after the show, but had to wait for my Pooley cabinet to be brought to the show. All my purchases were already paid for and Wayne was mostly just to pick everything up. I bought a few records...would have liked to have found an Edisonic reproducer or two, and might have picked up the half-barrel cylinder cabinet, but didn't bring my checkbook, and going over $700 would leave me with nothing for the Turnpike tolls going home! Quite a difference from October, where I bought the Opera. I did have a bunch of cash in my front pocket, so maybe that's the reason I'm the odd man out as far as the hands go.

Hey guys,

great to see the mug shot of the TMF representatives at the Wayne show. Hope you all had a great time and found some great machines. From the pictures posted so far looks like a great show...didn't someone do a video last year...or am I dreaming?

Good to put faces to some of the familar names from here on the board.

RATS! I missed the group shot. I actually thought about it, while I was there. I had a good idea for a photo, well actually a couple. One would have been, where whe would show off what we bought. The other could have been in front of that display of cylinder machines with the wooden horns.

Ah well maybe another time.

Maybe for the next show we should agree on a time to meet in the lobby. I found it tough to spot the name tags but with me it's a case of switching between eyeballs and glasses depending on the range!
