The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I was finally able to get my newly acquired Edison Banner sign framed and hung in the music building.

Very nice! What a collection of stunning machines! And a Devineau Biophone

Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Thanks for posting.

Terrific banner and it's fun to snoop around in the photos for other treasures. Jerry B.

Looks awesome... nice display!

Truly stunning!

All I can say is, "Wow." An entire building for your collection? And here I thought I was lucky to have a nice, big room for most of them. And what a collection!

I'll bet just getting that banner framed cost a pretty penny, too. Nice framing like that doesn't come cheap.

How do you store your records?

Mike, that looks great... I need to stop by for a fix...

Thank you. I built the frame for all of the banner signs myself, so just the cost of wood and paint and a little bit of time and effort. The Edison banner is 10 ft long by 38 inches wide, so most framers wouldn’t touch it.

I am more of a hardware and machine collector than software or record collector. I mostly like the early and historically significant. I like the really rare early records which I mostly display in a glass display cabinet. I don’t have a huge volume of more common 78’s or cylinders so storage for that has not been a issue.
