phonogfp Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 It seems that every three months many of us are taking the USPS to task for the slow delivery of the APS magazine, The Antique Phonograph. This is especially true around the Holiday season, when many members don't receive their copies until late December or January. Well, it's only fair to give a USPS an "attaboy" when they come through, so that's what I'm doing now. My December 2020 copy of the magazine arrived today - - on November 12! Merry Christmas! ?

Valecnik Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 That's good to hear. I'm sure delivery of the December issue will be a bit spotty due to COVID, resultant surge in vote by mail and now the holidays but not the fault of the USPS. Hats off to them!

Guest Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Mine arrived the first of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilvanstem Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 No magazine yet but reading the contents above I am sad to see the In Memoriam for Howard Hazelcorn. Never met the man and the only thing I know about him is his book on Columbia cylinder machines. I bought that from APS at Union a couple years ago and use it often. Sad news for the hobby.

AmberolaAndy Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Yup! I got mine! Time to put in my $32 for 2021 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmberolaAndy Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Ok I paid for 2021. I knew the money I saved from the Ibotta app was good for something! Lol.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateO Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 My copy arrived today! I'm looking forward to reading through it. George, I love your cover photo. They're always one of my favorite parts of the December issue. You should use them as a Christmas card every year! Nate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phonogfp Posted November 17, 2020 Author Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thank you, Nate. Despite our esteemed Editor's requests for Holiday cover shots, I sometimes worry that the fireplace mantle might become overplayed (if it hasn't already!). I shot a VV-IX under the Christmas tree a couple of years ago but it turned out awful. I'll need to try some creative shots this Christmas. Maybe some wax Amberols out in the snow... George P.

I would suggest a stunt double for the wax Amberols scene ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilvanstem Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I got mine now a couple days ago here in Chicago. Great to have some good reading material. Good work to all who put this out and write articles. What would we do without you!! A big thanks. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fran604g Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 I received my copy yesterday. As always, a top-notch job was accomplished by the writers and our esteemed editor! Kudos to you all, but I must say the series Mike Sherman has authored truly captures my imagination. Great job everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSherman Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 Thanks for the kind words Fran. I've had fun writing Albert's saga so far. Part III will be next December, and is set in the mid 1920s. Albert has done pretty well in his career, and is managing the a local branch of a bank. We'll see what he comes up with... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
