Vinyl is good. Got a huge box in the attic. Johnny Mathis to Grateful Dead.

Bagel wrapper?

We had a whole bunch of 78s when I was a kid. Never forget one of them. "Who's The Second Husband of John's Other Wife." And since Dad worked for Borden "Elsie the Cow's Halloween" which would be worth a fortune and my sister finally admitted that she tossed it years ago.

Smart a$$

 

[PapaDave]

Never had any 78s, but still have some 45s.

78s weren't vinyl. I don't know what they were made of but they were brittle and weighed a ton. Used a few for skeet targets. Mom was not pleased.

 

[BrotherBart]

Just looked it up. They were made of shellac.

I have one of these: (yes, it works)



and a pile of 78's. Next to the player is a little porcelain "Nipper" the dog in the classic pose. I found the dog at a yard sale in Santa Cruz a zillion years ago.

Zactly. It's over in the guest quarters or I'd snap a pic. Maybe tomorrow.

OK, it's tomorrow. Here's mine:

Very cool! Nipper still seems pretty chipper.

I have some old ...well I'm not sure what you would call them ... they're labeled Edison records and are a cylindrical brittle plastic in shape ... thinking they might be very old records perhaps ... ironically found them smoldering away in my grandfather's barn years ago.

Awesome IPod.

Edison cylinders. If rare, they could be valuable. I would have them assessed.

The Edison cylinders are very cool. I had an 8 track/record combo stereo until about 8 years ago. Sold the vinyl and the 8 tracks with it.

Music sounds better on vinyl, my opinion.

Save 'em Jake! I've come across them looking for old time folk music recordings. They could be one-offs and historically significant. Any labels of content?

Usually we use beer cans around here.

Vinyl seems to be the new "rage" among teens/college kids these days.

My 20 year old got a mock vintage record player for Xmas from his Mom. The kids go to Variety Stores and seek out old 45's and play them. I seem to think it is a new fad.

So, a few days after Xmas I went up the my attic and brought down 3 huge boxes of LP's and 45's and my kids' eye's just about popped out.

I gave them most away to the kids. Stuff like older Pink Floyd, Zep, Beatles, old Aerosmith, Kansas, Boston, ZZ top, J Giles , to The Cars, Alan Parsons, The Cure and an assortment of 80's styles.

The 80's music is really BIG with the kids now. Just happens to be my favorite too.

I must have about 300 records stored.
Even a few 8tracks too.

I remember the 78's too, from home.
And my dad always was playing the REEL to REEL tapes at home.

I have a milk crate full of 78 RPM records (and a player with that speed setting too)... you don't realize what a miracle vinyl was until you handle those old things.

Not being around horses much, I take it the sweat scraper is for the horse? It's still weird to me that they sweat.
