Hi all I am going up to SF area this weekend to look at a collection that a widder-lady wants to sell. She was hoping to get 70-80,000 out of it, but when I finally got pics today, there were only lots of radio cabinets with veneer missing, etc. I did see rays of hope though, such as about a dozen boxes packed with Diamond Discs (all 52,000 series, no doubt) and she says she has boxes and boxes of Edison wax and blue amberol cylinders. There seems to be a Victor IV, whether complete or not I do not know, I can only see the cabinet. There is a nice cygnet horn, and a nice horn for a Columbia built front mount machine. THere are lost of boxes full of stuff not evident in the photos, and I understand he has tons of radio tubes and piano rolls too....I am thinking I may be a fool for going up there and spending so much for a hotel when the pickings don't look that good, but I know I can get a truckload of records for the CAPS show....looks like there may be a couple of record cabinets, there are some tabletop machines (Grafonola/Victrola type), but maybe there's something nice in there somewhere. All I know is I am planning to drive 7 or 8 hours to see it. Hope I can find some more phono stuff to sell up there. Anyone know any shops other than those we discussed here before????? THanks John Robles
