I still have a record player. (And cassette, and 8 track that can do quad ) And have access to players for really old vertical cut records like Edison and Pathe, plus cylinders, either 2 or 4 minute. But not the big "opera" cylinders. Sadly most were actually opera music and my friend who's into them isn't interested in opera.
I have a bit of old vinyl, and some 78's. I wasn't really into collecting, but did pick up some stuff along the way.
The popular stuff sold a LOT of copies, and since it was entertainment loads of it got saved. I'll still pick up some at yard sales once in a while, or from thrift shops.
