I, for one, am not throwing away the stuff that my mother had. I am trying to find out the value of all the antiques that we have collected over the years. She had a McLagan gramophone with lots of 78's. Trying to find out info on this is pretty hard. From china to figurines to furniture to, well, you name it, mother never threw out anything. I have even found the arm for putting on a gramophone/phonograph to play music (it looks to be German from the name). I have not had a chance to do anything with it yet. Too busy having to work and try to take care of estate matters at the same time.

Where do you live? I wanna be friends with Dan the Dumpster Diver... Kudos indeed! (Although I have not yet been fortunate enough to get any type of phonograph from someone's curbside giveaways, I have acquired various other antiques. And in every case, they were disposed of by, or on behalf of, elderly persons.)

I just got another Standard disc machine, in very decent condition, out of the trash of an elderly neighbor whose kids stuck her into a 'home'. Some modification to the spindle & it'll be ready to play 'normal' 78s. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mario Frazzetto" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, July 17, 2007 5:16 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Another gem from Mario No prob Ray. It is just amazing how many of these crapophone auctions there are in Australia, and Germany seems to be the other big culprit. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org No virus found in this incoming message.
