What a great report, Steven. Thanks so much for sharing it in such detail.

[Phono-L] Orlando show report
Thanks, Ron, The early buyers and the dealers were provided with Lunch both days. The first day, Friday, the dealers were set up in the room, no more parking lot victim to the elements. $20 early buyer you were able to be there at 7a.m. on Friday and Saturday from 8 a.m. on. This year the room looked full and there was a lot of nice machines. Steve Andersun brought a Class M with the early seldom seen Automatic reproducer serial number in the 15,000 range with no lettering on the body. The machine had listening tubes and a new brown wax cylinder made of a composite material so you could fully experience the machine. Don Gfell had his wonderful display and brought his brother, an antique dealer with him. Don sold a nice Victor VI with mahogany horn to a man living in Orlando who is beginning to collect and was helped out by people at the show with the other questions he had. Don's horn display is worth the price of admission. Don also has a seldom seen late dome top Model O reproducer. The Rolfs were there with the books they have written and their usual display that is so well done you would not know it began as a flat table. The Rolfs table is a very cheerful place to visit. Rob Mallet was there, another nice person to talk with and visit his display as well. Jean Paul Agnard and his wife were there along with Charlie Hummel, it is amazing how much Charlie fits in those two airline bags. The famous Bob Cole - Richard Brown tables and floor machines were in their normal corner. Harry Ruer stopped by and it was so very wonderful to see him. The Orlando show is not the largest, but it is the most friendly. Harry, Bob, and Richard has done an excellent job of creating a user friendly show that is wonderful to visit. All the dealers I asked were happy. Ron Sitko was there with his wife, my wife enjoyed talking with Ron's Sitko's wife Carole, Harry Ruer, Bob, Richard, and Ron Haring among others. The world famous nice guy Gregg Cline was there doing a live demonstration on how to install his decals on an Opera that was graciously donated by Richard Brown for the show and tell. Gregg makes his decals to look hand painted, he has 17, yes 17 different corners for the Triumph. On eBay I recently saw two triumphs that looked mint to me, they were Cline decals. Is it mint or is it Cline? Some people want his name in mico letters so they can tell. When you shellac over his decals you have a protected decal that look like the ladies in the Edison factory painted them on. Kevin Boerma had some very nice machines, I purchased a rare late 2 minute recorder with the same holder as the four minute from around 1913 for $50. He had a nice Toy Berliner. I spent the whole day talking with people so I did not get a chance to write down all the machines that were there. I got to see a large outdoor roller organ that had amazing volume. With my poor memory for names I cannot list all the sellers who were there. Russ Bruning was there with a repro Berliner reproducer for $100 from the 70's or 80's. The weather was very nice and the door being so close to the dealer parking makes it easy to move the machines in and out. There was a lot of cylinder and disc records there. Ron Haring had 5, yes 5 Edison dealer sample records and Charlie Hummel has the limited 100 count record he made of a DD that was made in 1912 to introduce the machines to the customers, three are known to exist. NEWS FLASH CELEBRITY WATCH: TIM FABRIZIO WAS THERE. He did not have a table but he was there to visit us, what a wonderful treat. Edison created the phonograph, Harry, Bob and Richard created the best show. We did not expect it to be better this year, but it was. Last year is was so nice we did not think it could be any better, but it was. Next year we expect it to be even better, that is where you come in. Make plans to visit us. The hotel is near to the attractions and who would not want to thaw out in January if you live up north. This year I spent around $800 on books, records, reproducer parts and the recorder. I was very pleased, there were bargains at the show along with some very nice people on both sides of the dealer tables. I enjoyed this show immensly, I am looking forward to next year. Steve To: phonol...@yahoogroups.com From: victrol...@aol.com Date: Sun, 27 Jan 2013 12:43:02 -0500 Subject: Re: [phonolist] Orlando show report I would definitely say that Steve's report on the Orlando Antique Phonograph Show is accurate . The meeting hall was pretty much full with dealer and collector tables full of all kind of merchandise for sale. One of the dealers mentioned that he sold about 400 records as well as many other odds and ends. I did, indeed, have the best sales ever for this show this past week-end and was very pleased with the attendance and activity there at the sh
