If I may insert my 2 cents here, MAPS has a California chapter, the Golden State Phonograph Society which also puts out a monthly newsletter with articles on many areas of collecting! Does OTAPS have a newsletter again? I know they used to, and just after I joined, it stopped! Perhaps the chapters can send each other their newsletters?

"The Sound Box" is a publication offered quarterly from the California Antique Phonograph Society. It is a wonderful publication that is dedicated to the scholarly study of the talking machines and recordings. The other eagerly anticipated publication is "In The Grove", a monthly publication provided by the Michigan Antique Phonograph Society. Both publications are provided to members of the respective clubs. I highly recommend membership in both clubs. The cost is minimal and the benefits are huge. Both clubs have websites so check them out. Happy collecting, Jerry Blais __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
