Hello folks, Just a quick note. The Sears Silvertone Phonograph Catalog is saved to file. Two weeks ago I purchased a mid 1920s Sears big book catalog (about 500 pages in all) on ebay. There should be a few pages showing phonographs in the catalog and I am waiting for it to arrive so I can include it in the little project as well. The seller told me that it shipped last week . . . so it should be here any day now. Also included on the CD will be pages from two Sears bulletins and a 3rd catalog with several pages of phonographs. All the scans are from original catalogs . . . not the repro catalogs that are readily available. As soon as it arrives I will mail the CDs within a day or two. The CDs will be in a slimline case for a little added protection. If anyone else wants a CD please send me a note off list. I should have acknowledged any that have contacted me. If you sent a note and I did not reply . . . I didn't receive the message. Please try again. The scans are all very clear. One of the pages includes a Little Wonder record list.

She was hoping to get 70-80,000 out of it, but when I finally got pics today, there were only lots of radio cabinets with veneer missing, etc. I did see rays of hope though, such as about a dozen boxes packed with Diamond Discs (all 52,000 series, no doubt) and she says she has boxes and boxes of Edison wax and blue amberol cylinders. There seems to be a Victor IV, whether complete or not I do not know, I can only see the cabinet. There is a nice cygnet horn, and a nice horn for a Columbia built front mount machine. THere are lost of boxes full of stuff not evident in the photos, and I understand he has tons of radio tubes and piano rolls too....I am thinking I may be a fool for going up there and spending so much for a hotel when the pickings don't look that good, but I know I can get a truckload of records for the CAPS show....looks like there may be a couple of record cabinets, there are some tabletop machines (Grafonola/Victrola type), but maybe there's something nice in there somewhere. All I know is I am planning to drive 7 or 8 hours to see it. Hope I can find some more phono stuff to sell up there. Anyone know any shops other than those we discussed here before?????

My wife's family had a ranch west of town so I knew of several barns full of stuff. The tradgedy was that Petaluma gets the coastal fog and anything in those drafty unheated barns quickly turns to genuine junk. I have never found a wax 2 minute cylinder out of a barn in that area that wasn't all mold. In fact, it is 62? F outside right now and the fog is in tonight. Wishing you the best of luck on this... Al Who thinks Petaluma is the Spanish word for delamination... ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour From [email protected] Fri Aug 3 04:20:34 2007 From: [email protected] (John Maeder) Date: Fri Aug 3 04:23:34 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Need a phone number In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Mark A.
