Can't comment on the Zonophone query, but I can tell you that I am 30 and started collecting at age 12. I don't know many younger collectors at all. Most of the collectors I know locally are in their mid 40s and up.
I do hope more younger people start collecting! I think Loran's daughter collects records and she's in college (I know from another list...78-l) Sean ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Plavzic" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 3:53 PM Subject: [Phono-L] favorite finds - Playstation - Zonophone > Hello > > I noticed in a few posts that many people (of the pre-playstation > generation?) started on the hobby fairly young.
