Antique phonograph collectors, restorers, and afficionados use this forum to trade tips, techniques, spare parts, info and news. All acoustic phonographic devices are discussed and appreciated. Cylinders and disks. Steel and fiber needles, jeweled styli, and glass. Edison, Berliner, Standard, Victor, Columbia, Sonora and other phonographs. Open horn and Victrola. Turntable or mandrel. Springwound cranked and clockwork motors, and yes, to a limited extent, even electrical motors are found here, but electronically amplified devices are a bit too newfangled for this list.

Whether you have over a hundred phonos, or are considering buying your first phono, you will be in good company here. Besides machines, we also discuss acoustic record making, recording techniques and odd and unusual records.
