Introduction & Phonograph Web Site
By Joel Hoshaw

Hello all,  my name is Joel Hoshaw and this is my first posting to the
group.  In response to the thread of a few days ago where an individual
is looking for a Cheney phonograph, there are several good resources on
hand-cranked phonographs on the Internet.  I recently found a group
called PHONATICS at

    http://members.aol.com/edisonshop/phonatics.html

It is an excellent site for info, how-to, as well as buy/sell/trade.
They do an on-line newsletter, I think about once a month.  They also
archive the newsletters on-line.  However, the last two times I tried
to access it the server returned an error message that the URL doesn't
exist.  I was just on it last week, but I seem to recall a thread about
some difficulties they were having with AOL.  I presume the site is
temporarily unavailable until that's worked out.  I would suggest to
keep trying; it's well worth frequent visits.

I found MMD when I did an Internet search for +music-box+Regina.  I am
interested in antique music boxes, windup phonographs, player pianos
and generally any mechanical music makers.  Thanks for letting me be a
part of the group!

 [ Welcome, Joel -- I'm glad that another phonograph fan is aboard.

 [ for us by a record collector with sharp ears and a good memory!
 [ Have fun with MMD.   -- Robbie
