The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I guess the title says it.

I didn't attend the show, so no pics here. I just want to say however, that I don't believe I've seen any/many posts from you lately. I always enjoy them. Thanks.

I enjoyed the show both Saturday and Sunday. I picked up a Columbia Ak project machine and a couple little things. My wife enjoyed it and found a nice music box . Met some really nice people too.

OK. I hate to be "that guy" but are the dates for next years show available yet? The reason I am asking so early is because right now we are picking our leave at work (I have to pick my days off a year out).

I'm also interested to see what kind of treasures you guys got

Didn't plan on picking up a machine until I saw an Edison Gem model A with near-mint condition pinstriping and banner decal. Ended up taking that home with me, along with a few Orthophonic Victor records, because why not?
Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the show, I'm surprised the usual photo thread hasn't been made yet.

i got a pre 1901 Columbia q phonograph and a few gold molded cylinders and Columbia xp cylinders.

Next show is April 27, 2025

Thank you Lee

Thanks Jerry. That was a nice thing to say. I haven’t had a lot to offer the group and I have been going through some physical issues that have caused some reflection and downsizing.

Saw, but alas did not buy:

Edison "Needle Type Portable", a rare predecessor of the P-1 and P-2
Amberola 60 (Yes, 60, rare large table top machine)
Not one, but 2 nice Edison Opera
Sonoraphone - rare disc machine with a feedscrew as an attempt to circumvent Victor's patents

Maybe I'll hit the lottery someday...
