Cool. My grandfather collected phonographs and I kept a few machines after he passed away. Do you have any baseball related records? I know I have Casey at the Bat and I think Cohen at a Baseball Game on cylinder. I also have a rather unusual 78 that was made during the 1920's of Ruth & Gehrig performing a really cheesy comedy bit.
