[Phono-L] Tin-foil replica questions
I know this has been covered here before, but I'm seeking a little knowledge for the Pavek Museum of Broadcasting, that they might know more about a beautiful reproduction Kreusi replica (part of the Jack Mullin Collection), and where to source the soft tin foil appropriate for demonstrating that machine. I noticed that their replica tin foil phonograph has the faithfully recreated details in the base, like the oblong "prior use" holes in the base, as per the authentic Kreusi phonograph at the ENHS. I'm aware that a number of replicas were made by at least two or three individuals and wonder how to determine the origin of this one. As I recall there might be an identifying mark or limited serial number on the bottom? And as noted above, where does one obtain the foil? Thanks in advance for any assistance with these questions.

Hey Bruce,You have our votes. We would love to have a show in town. Maybe at the Crown Plaza? Its a stone's throw from Green and they are a good size facility for a show. The convention center would be way too big.

Re: [Phono-L] Exploring Phonograph Show/Sale in Boston
The Holiday Inn in Mansfield would be a likely candidate it is about half way between the two metro regions and has a big parking lot. It is readily accessible from 495 and 95. Bill F. did a lot of research about us trying to do this a few years ago and it did not look promising. I was thinking more of one of the established show promoters doing it. They already know what to do and how to do it.

Re: [Phono-L] Exploring Phonograph Show/Sale in Boston
I like that idea. A joint phono show with the NEARC show in Febuary might work. -Barry On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 1:46 PM, Jack Whelan wrote: > > > Bruce, The airfare to TF Green in Providence RI would be much higher that > Boston.
