[Phono-L] The List and Excitment about phonographs

I was 15 and my father took me to an antique dealer
where I paid $35 for a tabletop Silvertone. The dealer
said the price was $35 and that's what I paid.  I
don't know **WHY**  my dad never said to bargain with
him.  I then got 78's from the local Salvation Army
for 5 cents apiece.  My first batch included Paul
Whiteman's "Chicago" and "Crinoline Days".  Still my
favorites today.  

That Silvertone had a smell, or should I say "aroma"
to it that I love to this day.  The smell of the old
oak when I open the lid.

Anyone else experience the aroma thing with old wood?
