Thanks for the pictures. I recognized several people in them. Would have been nice to attend.
-
Great photos of a great show. I bought very little but enjoyed a lot just being there. Had a nice conversation with Wyatt Markus, as well as many others.
-
I had a great time at the show and I spent all my cash. I took some pictures, but they are not as good as the ones already posted. Thanks to all at the APS for bringing it back for another great year!

For sale, antique Mammut coin operated disc photograph. The motor is in working order although the governor needs some adjustment. Has the original horn, bracket and tone arm. Reproducer was changed over to a Cromona at sometime in life. Unfortunately, the Coin up mechanism has been removed. Asking $850 or best offer. Free delivery to the show in Schaumburg this Friday.

Thanks! Interesting!

Thanks, George. I remember seeing it in your book. There are so many fun related items for phonograph collectors.
-
I've always liked those figurines, Even though they fall outside my collecting sphere, I admit I'd have a hard time turning my back on one at a reasonable price. We showed one of these on page 96 of Phonographs with Flair. Congratulations, Dan! George P.

I was at an antique show last Friday with Jerry Blais and picked up this fun RCA item. I believe its from 1926 and very colorful and fully articulated. I've heard it was a Maxwell Parish design but I don't know that for sure.

Ditto! George P.

Here are some details about it... https://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?t=63289

It's likely "glued" in place with old, dried up oil. Try heating the shaft, just adjacent to the casting, with a small torch on a low flame. There's no need for excessive heat, but it takes more than just a hair dryer to get it unstuck. You don't want to burn off paint, just a whiff of smoke from the heated oil should do it. When heated, you sould be able to pull it out or tap it out with a mallet, or brass hammer. The key word being "tap", not hit.

I've never seen this model before - it looks legit? Anyone know what it is? The auction is on August 1 at Curated & Collectable Sale - Batemans of Stamford, for some reason I can't paste the direct link...

Hi George, Thanks for the advice, I found the screw and it removed easily. I have another question. (again on my DX) I have removed the mandrel but I'm not sure about the safe removal of the shaft. The one end has a brass nut which I removed which exposed threads, but I'm sure whether to tap it out or try to unscrew the whole shaft. I don't believe it would unscrew, as there is no reliable/safe way to grip it. But I tapped gently and it didn't budge so before I proceed I was hoping for the correct method. Please see the photo attached Thanks again in advance. Have a great day! Wayne Broadview Hts, OH

Magnificent! Bruce you have taken a spectacular collection and moved it to a higher level with your display. Bruce

I am not a jealous person.... until now. Fantastic collection and fantastic presentation. BTW, I like the Washington blue, "blind back", Model A Sedan! (High praise from a Model T guy!)
-
Wow, Bruce. What a terrific setup. It all looks great. Hope yo see it one of these days.
-
What a beautiful presentation. It's not just a jumble of random machines, it's thoughtfully laid out. And there are some wonderful treasures there as well! I love the Model A pictures as well. I've been into them since I was a teenager, and owned two over the years. Alas I had to let my last one go a few years back. Great cars.

Some spectacular stuff, Bruce! Congratulations on the new "venue!" George P.
