I’m not big on religious music, or opera, or classical. I do like the Hayden Quartet, the Peerless Quartet, Colins and Harlan. I like a lot of Jazz, Blues, humorus

I was told I shouldn’t play the 10 inch records, as they will get damaged after 10 plays. Also, something about the spindle hole being the wrong size, and that I need a machine with a screw down spindle. Also, he mentioned something about the No. 2 soundbox being made for use with ridged front mount arms. All, I know is that the 10 inch record that I played is a pre bat wing one.
