The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I spent about three hours at the parking lot of the Wayne Show. Here are a few photos of my day.

I am envious beyond belief! Have fun tomorrow!

My big purchase was the sketch done by Caruso. I am delighted with that purchase. Thanks Steve M. very much!

The Wayne show offers much more than just being a very good phonograph sale. The Edison sites at Menlo Park and West Orange, NJ are very close to Wayne (probably 45 minutes). These few photos give you an taste of the history located nearby.

Some interesting machines for sale, I have not run into a Victor motor with the springs off to the right, and that gear arrangement. In the Edison museum phontos Photo #1338 has a special record I made for those early machines following a formula in the Aylsworth notebook, it is of stearic, ceresin, and carnauaba wax. . #1341 is a recording phonograph, this was standard equipment, in Edison's studio, and if you note the chain driven feedscrew in the back, that is the four minute master gearing for which Edison Amberol, and Blue Amberol masters were cut with. 194.667 tpi. (97 ⅓ tpi, and the reduction gear of 8 teeth, while the feedscrew has 16 teeth.
