Ron, I second that emotion. APM was already a has-been when I started
collecting some years ago, so I haven't seen any of the information that has
been published there. I'm probably not alone as I suspect many of our
current collectors don't have any or much knowledge of APM or The New
Amberola Graphic and its articles. I don't know what kind of copyright
issues there may be, but I'd like to see some of the more timeless articles
and studies from these early newsletters and magazines republished in ITG.

Maybe a "From the files of the APM" would be a good column for "In The
Groove."

Hi, all --- The complete story of the "Yankee Prince" talking machine and
its relation to other I'Neill-James products and the entire Chicago
talking
machine scene can be read about in (some would say excruciating) detail in
a
number of articles I wrote beginning in the early 1970s for publications
like the APM (Antique Phonograph Monthly) and the Talking Machine Review
International. Many older collectors have these publications in their
libraries, but if you don't know anyone who might have them, the story
will
also be found in a few of the books George Paul and I wrote, primarily
"The
Talking Machine, an Illustrated Compendium" and "Discovering Antique
Phonographs." These books are commonly available from a variety of
sources,
including www.phonophan.com and eBay.
It depends on how much you really want to know about O'Neill-James,
because
I got into it on the obsessive level -- I mean, right down to quoting from
the amateur poetry of Arthur J. O'Neill. But if all you want it a
one-paragraph precis of the story, e-mail me off-line and I'll send you
the
quick and slick version.
Cheers,
Tim Fabrizio
