In The Groove is always looking for fresh, unique stories and viewpoints. I just had an E-Mail exchange with a MAPS member, and it sparked an excellent topic for a future article, without an author. yet. Would anyone be interested in writing a short (or long) research/opinion piece on what occurs, on average, to the individual machines and items when a collection is sold?
As the original MAPS members age, they eventually sell their entire collection. I wonder where the collections go? Are there that many new, first time antique phonograph purchasers? Are many of the machines simply shipped overseas, never to be seen in the United States again? Are private collections growing in size? Please contact me if you have any interest in pursuing this topic for a future article. We'd be happy to place survey and possibly other MAPS data collection resources at your disposal.
