I just wanted to pass on a note about the CAPS (California Antique Phonograph Society) show last weekend. It was really a nice show. I found the people very accomodating and we had the opportunity to see a couple of nice private collections that were outstanding. Hospitality abounded. I believe all the out of towners were made to feel very welcome. I was there with several folks from Oregon.
The banquet was also really great. There was a slient auction, a great dinner and then a talk by Renee Rondeau about Tinfoil machines with a really outstanding demo of a real edison tinfoil machine! What a rare thing to experience. The show was not huge, but there were a lot of machines and related things available. I got a late Vic 1 and a late Vic 2 both for what I thought were very reasonable prices. Another in our party bought a really nice Columbia BJ with a matching wood horn. Another bought a really nice Trademark Berliner. Really nice machines. Just thought I would pass my thoughts of the show along. Dan
