Re: [Phono-L] CAPS phonograph show
Hi John, We sure did speak. You were going to email me a copy of an Edison Lid Label, let Us Not Forget. I met and conversed with you in the past. I was working with Stan Stanford and Jerry Blais. Congrats on your Monarch. It's a nice machine I had a great time. Harvey P.

I was selling with Mike Sorter at the table to his right. We have been doing the show together for something like 8 or 9 years. I think you introduced yourself, did you not? Sorry to be so vague, I met a LOT of people at the show!

I bought some parts and picked up a couple of machines. I did get that really cool Busy Bee Columbia Q client machine from Mike Sorter. It's an excellent machine at a good price. Thanks Mike. I really enjoyed the banquet and presentation. I've been involved wirh CAPS since 2002, and each year is always better than the previous year. Harvey P.

I do art restoration for a living so I can do the work-but it would take a ton to bring it back. The leather was in good shape-but I don't have to have that. I just got a Amberola V with matching cabinet in mahogany from a client-I am not sure that I need 2 though my other is in oak. The pinstriping and paint is about the same on both80-85% but the mahogany needs to be redone as it has crazed to about 60 grit sandpaper. It my take a while but I can let you know what I am going to do after I restore the mahogany case and cabinet.

If that was not him could you get me his phone# or email address. Thx in advance Abe On Mon, Aug 17, 2009 at 11:30 AM, john9...@pacbell.net wrote: Try Pat Jones- he usually has Credenzas.

By the way I am looking for a really nice Victor crendza in walnut if you know of anyone who is selling one in driving distance from Az I am up for it.

I was the one that had the Victor Schoolhouse with the smooth oak horn (still have it, unfortunately - it didn't sell). I sell with Mike Sorter, he was a tall guy with a lot of homes and standards. We had two tables, then Nestor Guzman was at the last table nearest the kitchen (by the chairs and tables). Were you next to Stan Spate? I am sorry to have missed you
Re: [Phono-L] CAPS phonograph show
I would have to agree, it was a great show. I thought last year's show was a bit slower in business and attendance, but this year's show was in marked contrast. I sold items I didn't think would sell, and may buddy who I sell with every year sold several machines that he has been carting to the show for at least the past three or four years! I was very happy with my main purchase,which was a Victor M with brass belled horn from Stan for what I thought was a very good price. It now sits on my formerly empty Herzog record cabinet and it makes a pretty picture, I must say! Thanks Stan and thanks to you and Jerry for coming down.

There were interesting machines to buy and I sold most of what I brought including 6 phonographs and many related small items. The entertainment for the Banquet as Scott and Denise have described was superbas good as any I have seen over the past 10 or 12 years. Jerry and I sat next to the fellows running the projector. The precision with which they worked was amazing, and the pianist played non-stop for about 1 1/2 hours. In addition to all this we heard the world's oldest recorded sound from about 1857 thanks to David Giovannoni. Congrats CAPS for such a great Show!!!
