The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Pics from the show today... enjoy!

Hello,
Thanks for taking the time to take these pictures and post them on the forum! I know that there are other collectors like myself that are unable to attend the shows. I have been looking forward all week to seeing some pics from the show. It is like looking in the window of a Phono candy show!!

I agree with flashpanblue - thanks loads for posting these photos. Since I am "distance-challenged" and can't attend east coast shows, the pictures are a real treat.

I note that your seventh photo from the top is WDC's own handiwork, the sampling phono that he recently made.

Great pictures. I was there early, did the crowds ever materialize? I was surprise how few buyers where there.

I saw everything pictured but somehow totally missed the XVIII. Anyone know what price was on it?

These pics are great! Bless your heart for posting them...as I always say, this is what I think heaven is going to be like. The Technicolor Victor III is, as sellers often say, " one of a kind". What on earth were they thinking??? Prices are a litte lower this year, are they not? The Trade Mark Berliner seems to be kind of a deal.
If this trend keeps up there may be eventually a Home in my home.( Music Master horn...O repro.... )

D..,

Great photos. Thanks for posting them! Someday I'll make it down there!!!!!

The XVIII was $3600 and still there when we left at around 2-ish. I doubt it sold, but it was CLEAN. It had no reproducer, though...

I will find an XVIII one of these years in the wild, I'm convinced...

The crowds weren't really heavy at all while I was there, so you had to wonder...

Some realy good pictures. I wish I could have been there. I like the Columbia AR or AY. Anybody know what it went for? It look like a great show. Thank's for the picture's.

Great pictures! Thanks!
Does anyone know of any shows remotely close to TX? Not much down here other than the common machines.
Would be a lot of fun to go to one of these, but never get a chance to go that far.
Any other collecters here from Houston? I've been to Nauck's shop and I was looking around like a kid in a candy shop. His place and Kathy and Bob at Vintage Sounds are the only places around here I have found so far. I met another local collector here who bought a roller organ I sold on Ebay and we talked for a couple of hours about his phongraph collection and he seemed to get a kick looking at my music room.

Thanks Sean, I looked for you but did not see you. I only saw/recognized Aaron and Norman. Norman demo'd his prototype electric cylinder machine. Very impressive.

Hang in there on the XVIII - I stumbled onto mine so it is possible.
