New Hobby of mine.

Collecting Gramophones, and the records. Here is one I bought recently.[video=480,360]https://youtu.be/tS6urfOIa2Q[/video]

I have a few... Stand alone / table top Rexonola gramophone's and a portable and I forget how many records...

But not too many others are interested.

Old Bing Crosby and lots of ww2 and post war records...

I love the old music, I have an Edison which plays very thick disks, at 80rpm.

Thanks mate, do they say Edison on them?

Here are some poor pics.

I have about 5 Milk crates full of records including the Andrew Sisters and even the Carter Family etc.

Have sold most of the others I restored as my wife like a minimal hose hold, hence the little portable is tucked away in one of my workshops.

I hate repairing broken springs, so many got over wound OR left to over spin and often the end of the spring that clips to a rivet; breaks. So you have to play with a LARGE tempered clock spring / heat and re drill etc and then temper again and then re coil and fit... PITA.

my wife has no say to my shed contents, here are some of my others

No we haven't done so yet, though I should get around to it and set it up. It was my friends great granddad's machine.

A Pioneer PL-61 turntable would have to be vintage by now, I bought it at the Pearl Harbour PX back in 1973. Fitted with an Audio Technica moving coil cartridge that holds an elliptical diamond stylus.

My edison has a diamond stylus, they do wear, but lasted a lifetime.

I would have thought that with a heavier tracking weight and softer material in the records themselves that they would wear before the stylus.

Hi guys

I have several edison cylinders. I got them for $5.00 each at an antiques shop in Berrima ( since closed). Got some very good antiques from a shop in Mittagong too. Will have to go back there soon.
