The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Gentlemen,

You may be happy to know that Percy Wilson's book Modern Gramophones and Electrical Reproducers is now available on archive.org!

Sincerely,

Garret

Very many thanks Garret for alerting us to this new link to the "Bible" for our interest.

This essential, extensively researched and well written, book was a rare resource to find before the popularity of the internet and has always been expensive to buy. We are privileged indeed to be able to read it for nothing but let not this fact detract from the enormous achievement of the authors in giving us all a hugely valuable grounding in our subject. This is the book from which all others flowed..........

The book was already available for the users of this forum. See here at bottom, and on page 2:

By the way it is marked on archive.org as "public domain", but actually it isn't.

Well,

I would suggest that you grab this volume while you can!

Garret

Of course! Actually, I grabbed it back then already!
