Instruments and Phonographs For Sale
By Kenneth Keeton, forwarded by Mark Fontana
In case you didn't see this, here's an article that appeared today in various for-sale newsgroups. I thought parts of it might be of interest to readers of our list. Maybe you can edit out parts that are inappropriate (isn't there already an antique phonographs list?)
[ Editor's note: I'm enclosing the following "ad" because it does
[ contain quite a number of things that our readers might find
[ interesting. Kenneth Keeton is definitely doing these
[ postings for "commercial" rather than "hobby" purposes. Unless I
[ get flack from our readers, I will forward postings from him h
[ occasionally, since he does seem to have a lot of relevant stuff.
[ I have no idea what his business practices or prices are like.
[ Jody
