Old Victrolas and Electolas from the 1920's
Only collect the first electrically amplified machines from the Orthophonic era. Some have the very first record changers made for home use. Also collect the records to play on them, mostly popular music, hot jazz and dance band's from the late 1920's and early 1930's.
Autowasherfreak, any interest in a Xerox 800 Electronic Typing System (from the 1970's) or an IBM MT/ST (Magnetic Tape/Selectric Typewriter) from the 1960's? The MT/ST was one of the first, if not the first word processing typewriter ever - it records the keystrokes for later playback and editing on 16mm film that has a magnetic coating. The 800 was Xerox's first entry into the market in the 1970's. If so, drop me a note.

We are up to 6 vacuums now. It is not a Saturday for us if we don't go to garage sales or thrifting. We have met a lot of great people along the way as well. Have a great week....Dano

45 rpm records, but not LP's
Kind of fell into this by virtue of the fact that my OM was a jukebox repairman. A lot of my collection are "demo" records that may/may not have been in general release. I have several of these for "The Chipmunk Song". When rock-n-roll first got popular, lots of the luncheonette owners, etc. didn't want it on their "boxes", so they ended up being brought home for me. Yes, I still play all of them often but my OM was never generous enough to restore a jbox for me.
To this day, whenever I go someplace with a jukebox, I will ALWAYS play it:
"The dime you put into the slot
Supports dad's pay, so thanks a lot!"
