Collectors World West

Post by whitedogfive »

Does anyone have any dealings with this internet seller of antique phonographs? I see they have a nice selection of items, some I am interested in, but they do not respond to emails. Are they out of business? No phone numbers to call just the standard email if your interested in an item. Any info would be appreciated.

I have contacted them on several occasions and have always received a reply with the answers to my inquires. If my memory serves me correct they have their shop in the "bay area". I have never actually purchased anything. I contacted them recently (within the last couple of weeks) regarding a phonograph. Their reply was with 24 hours.

It's Al Choffnes. He's been around forever, primarily a music box guy. Solid citizen.

They are good. I've purchased a couple of machines from them and I've been satisfied. Prices are good, and they can ship anything safely. I've had no trouble with email responses. Good luck.

Thanks guys. From your responses they look like a good company to deal with. Maybe there just on vacation or busy for the holidays.
