The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

...Unless you're trying to figure out a gift for someone who has everything. Well, HERE'S an idea...

If you know someone who enjoys antique phonographs but has not yet joined the Antique Phonograph Society, perhaps a membership would make a thoughtful gift to be enjoyed all year long. You can have this arranged in under five minutes by going here:

Here's a special message for our valued members:

I am surprised each year by how difficult it is to convince many of our members to simply RENEW. Over many months our volunteers send out emails and eventually paper mailings (consuming hundreds of dollars in needed funds) to simply remind our members to RENEW. If 3 of every 4 members renewed right now, our volunteers would save many hours of their personal time, and our organization would realize significant savings. Won't you please be one of those thoughtful and kind folks who renew now - before other matters get in the way? Thank you.

Best wishes to all for a happy and healthy 2016!

George Paul - President

Thank you George; and all the other folks "behind the scenes" that make -- and keep -- the Society possible.

I just renewed my membership, and would urge those who aren't members to join! IMNSHO, it's the best $30 you could spend.

Last March I bought all of the past issues of The Sound Box and The Antique Phonograph that were available on the website, and I still can't get over the immense amount of credible information that the Society provides me with, continually.

Keep up the great work,
Fran

Wow - what a nice testimonial, Fran!

I think you should be the Publicity Chairman for the APS. You'd get paid just as much as the rest of us - nothing!

One really nice thing about having the back issues of The Sound Box/The Antique Phonograph is the Subject Index to Past Issues that is maintained on the website. Just click on the link at the bottom of this page to see what I mean:

Thanks again for the encouraging words, Fran.

Thanks for the heads-up! Just renewed.

Bill

Thanks, Bill!

After finally joining myself , I just sent a membership to a friend. He's not very proficient on the computer, nevertheless, this seemed like a great Christmas gift.

The MAPS renewals were in December, and being a creature of habit, that's what I do with APS. Took care of it today online.

Oh, and my copy of the APS journal came today.

Just renewed also.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL
