				Great choices Jerry. Did you ever hear a price quoted for the Junior Monarch on the stand?
Nice meeting you and your traveling buddies!

				There was a 1917 Columbia Disc (I forgot what model) with a red petaled horn that was absolutely beautiful- even had a repeater mechanism on it as well.

Someone please correct me but I believe it was around $14,000.

				That Amberola 75 was only $275 and the Grafonola Elite was only $200. I don't believe either one sold!  
The last of my photos...

				The polyphones at the show were super cool to see.

				I liked seeing the OAK M/IV as I don't think those are too common:
