Antique Phonographs have been an all-consuming passion of mine since I bought my first one as a 12 year-old child in 1961. Even after 60 years (!) I still find these amazing pieces of early technology to be endlessly fascinating. The picture above, taken in 1962, shows my dog 'Stubby' standing in for Nipper (with a Columbia BQ instead of a Berliner).

One great truism about collecting is that we never really own these treasures, we are just temporary caretakers. Like many of my friends, I have decided it's time to downsize my collections a bit and let other collectors have the pleasure of enjoying some of these great machines. In the past few years I've sold over a third of my collection. These pages represent what I have currently.
