Tim, you've done a wonderful job with ITG... list members, if you are not currently a member of MAPS, I encourage you to pop over to MAPS-ITG.org and check it out (follow the current website link to view a sample issue of ITG). I consider my back issues of 'In the Groove' as much a part of my

Tim has indeed made some great improvements to In The Groove. I'm paid up for the next two years! I'd like to also recommend the California Antique Phonograph Society's journal, The Sound Box, to all collectors. You can look over an issue at www.antiquephono.org. and join up if you like

Folks, I am self-conscious from all the praise. Thank you! MAPS and In The Groove simply would not exist if not for you and all of our wonderful contributors. I also want to second George Paul on the California Antique Phonograph Society and The Sound Box. A fantastic publication! I

I am a very small collector and a member of the Vintage Phonograph Society of New Zealand. I live in the city of Dunedin which is about 4 1/2hr drive South of Christchurch (we certainly felt the quake but to my knowledge we had no damage) like most, we have extended family and many friends that

I belong to both CAPS and MAPS, both are very enjoyable. My favorite issue of The Sound Box is September 2006 with the George Paul Home article. I keep it on my desk and reference it often. That one article was worth my membership dues for all the years I have belonged to the new and

Doesn't sound like a bad idea. But, are we at the point where we're ready to publish a big book on an annual basis? ITG has elevated to a higher degree of excellence thgan it has ever done, since John Whiteacre's day, and the ladies that called the shots then. I feeel that there will need to be a

If we get submissions from various collectors all over the world, it would be an interesting read. It would also alleviate some of the stress placed on regular contributors to ITG. It would have to be funded by all of the various clubs, not just MAPS. Any profits could be split among the

Hi Phono friends, I'm the proud owner of a second Vivatonal. I've just bought a 721 and it has me puzzled. I also own a 611, the small upright with the oval design in the door. This door opens down and then slides in. The motors on both these units are very different even though they are only
