So - who's maybe/probably/definitely going?

I'm a "highly probable". I'm planning to break up the 600 mile drive each way by stopping at various baseball stadiums along the way. I will probably bring some common machines to sell and maybe some records. Let me know if you're interested in Edison Standards, Homes, Amberolas, maybe a Victrola VI, VV-50, etc.

I'm not, but I do need transportation for a machine from there to me in the Washington, DC area (specifically, the Maryland DC suburbs, but I can readily arrange a meet-up anywhere in the metro area or even a ways outside it). If anyone who is going comes from around here or will be passing through and would be willing to do the honors, well, I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today, or whatever. Seriously, I'd be delighted to offer reasonable recompense if someone happens to be in the right places at the right time.

Since I won't be there in person, just trying to cadge a ride for a phono, I suppose it's of less moment, but fair enough. Name's David Hoehl. Cheers!

I hope to attend. I may bring some NOS DD's (that I have also recently posted about in the Music Trader) or I may be there just in the way of a buyer - the jury is out!

Anyway, the show should be interesting.

I have just been able to work it out out so I can make the Show! I have been dealing with a family medical issue, but my sister is coming to town to give me a break. Now I have to find what to bring...I know I will have my Decals with me and I have an Edison Opera and Edison Standard under Glass, some interesting parts, including some rare reproducers...and an empty hexaphone cabinet...
Hope to see many of you there!
