I love the historical aspect of the music, as well. I guess that I'm stuck in an era (the 20''s), which seems similar to the 1990's with the stock market craze leading to the depression. That era produced some very good jazz. WWI is an interesting historical era, but I find it to be somewhat

Hi All, Last week we won a box of phonograph parts along with our Victor II. Most of them do not look very interesting. However, in the box was included a horn elbow. I immediately thought it was just the elbow from a radio horn but now we are wondering if it belongs to an Edison Opera. The

Hello all. I am looking for a source of modern (i.e. reproduction) cylinder boxes. I have need of many of them, mainly because I get paranoid about mold from some of the black brown cylinders that I have had infesting the tube, for lack of a better word. I am looking for about 3-4 dozen

If you are looking for archival boxes, there are a couple of makers of these. I wrote a newsletter article on them, so if you give me a day or so I will find the article and give you the sources. There is another source for the Blue Amberol boxes, but these are not suitable for wax records.
