Antique Phonograph Society Announcement
I’m pleased to announce that a committee of active Antique Phonograph Society members has been working for several months to put together a proposal for a Midwest show for June 2021. This proposal was presented today by teleconference to both the APS Board of Directors and APS Advisory Board, and it was unanimously approved.
The location of this event has been narrowed to three Midwest cities, and further details are being investigated. The new show will offer not only outstanding buying and selling opportunities, but social and structured informational/educational activities as well.
More details will be posted here and on the APS web site as they are finalized!
APS is a 1000 member strong international society of antique phonograph, gramophone and record enthusiasts. APS publishes quarterly the highly acclaimed 52 page full color journal, The Antique Phonograph, and provides to members a vast library of over 25,000 pages of material concerning phonographs, gramophones and records. We are a tax-exempt not-for-profit organization whose officers are all volunteers. If you are not already a member, please support the hobby and join us at http://www.antiquephono.org.

Depending on the final location, I may be interested in contributing to any educational/informational seminars if you think any attendees would have any interest in an "off brand" talking machine operation out of Virginia... 
Either way, this sounds like exciting news. I am a relatively new member of the APS but a longtime fan of antique phonographs and history....
Will look forward to updates! C.

Fantastic news. I like the concept of "social and structured informational/educational activities." There should be more to a show than just a phono flea market.
The APS again leads the way. If you are not yet an APS member, please consider joining.

I hope that the Detroit area is being considered. Attendee would enjoy visting Greenfield Village and Edison's Menlo Park Lab, where it all began!

Could I have a presentation on cylinder record formulations?
