What are YOUR Phono resolutions for 2026?

Post by AmberolaAndy »

I seem to do this every year to keep myself accountable. Now I know not EVERYTHING can be accomplished in just a year, but these are the things I hope I'm able to do in 2026 reguarding the hobby.

In 2026 I will resolve to:

1. Renew my APS subscription
2. Find a reproducer for my Busy Bee Grand! (so far this is a pretty difficult find)
3. Get a HMV 5A or 5B soundbox for my 102!
4. Get brown wax cylinders (or any cylinders since 2025 was a new cylinderless year)
5. Get a lid for both my Suitcase Edisons
6. Get a good belt for my Columbia Eagle!
7. Get a RECORDER for my Columbia Eagle/Type A
8. Get a Model B reproducer
9. Get a AUTOMATIC reproducer
10. Possibly get a ICS reproducer for the ICS Amberola 30
11. Get my Columbia Lyric reproducer rebuilt!
12. Get my Model E reproducer rebuilt!
13. GET MORE BOOKS
14. Send my Diamond Disc reproducer to Wyatt for a new diamond for my B19 machine
15. Find a grill for my B19 machine.
16. Stop hijacking threads, and make my own when I have a question. (A personal thing I'm trying to stop because I've been pretty bad at doing that this past year.)

As usual, feel free to add your own, and what you hope to accomplish in 2026!

Mine is to not bring anything else into the house, which I've already broken!
