The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I wasn’t able to attend...How was the show this year? Did anyone takes pictures that they would post?

Thanks..

We are also wondering about the Orlando show,
any comments or especially pictures?

Thanks, David & Lerria

I thought the show was fantastic but unfortunately I didn't get any pictures to post. As usual it was Chamber of Commerce weather in Orlando. I have set up at every Orlando show and I saw several of my old friends and surprisingly I saw many new faces. It's good to know there could be new collectors coming aboard. Maybe they were just staying at the hotel or maybe they will be new collectors. I chatted with some people that I didn't know and not too surprising there was a story about "I remember when..(fill in the blank) had a Victrola" from each of them. Good times and good quality machines for sure. Somebody was taking pictures but don't recall who. Hopefully they will post, that is unless I am in them.

Here are a couple of "room shot" pictures from the Florida show. Of course, no "Joe" in these pictures. It was awesome to catch up with good friends and be in wonderful weather. The show was great too. There was even at least one new (never been there before) dealer set up! I even picked up a couple of items!!!

Here's some more pictures of the show. Sorry, some are fuzzy.

Some things of note:
-#8 Columbia reproducer - I'd never seen one. Originally for a AW (I think)
-We have a CAMPS member who is reproducing Rastus again. Bought all of Charlie Weatherbee's stock.
-Original Victor clock - Wow
-Len Bilton IS smiling

If I win the lottery, I'm gonna buy Larry Crandell out !

Thanks,
Bob

That is my AW reproducer. First time I set up as a dealer and my Edison Amberola B1 sold for asking price.

The AW reproducer is original to the phonograph which is a AO in serpentine case fitted with the upgraded AW reproducer. Went back home with me as no sale at $900.00 well worth it and not sorry it did not sell.

Wow, thanks for the great photos!

I recognize my Columbia Records sign that I traded to Bill... did he sell it or the Victor clock?

Ah, those are probably all over Etsy, along with the Victor coasters and candy bowls...

I picked up this mirror at the Orlando show. Surprised it was still there at the end of the day on Friday. Measures 27"X27"
