Music Box Disc Listings & Catalogs Available
By Lee Munsick

Hello from Lee Munsick.  In the late 1960s or so, fellow MBS'er
John Bishop and I started to accumulate data on disc music box discs.
John worked for IBM and had access to IBM punch-card machines and
supplies.  Fairly quickly we got a pretty complete list of Regina
15-1/2" discs.  Over the years I assembled piles of original maker
catalogs, lists from other collectors and sellers, etc.  This fills
a box the size in which one buys 5000 sheets (10 reams) of copy paper.

Sadly, while waiting at a red light to make a turn into his home,
John was run down and instantly killed by a school bus driver that we
later learned was not within miles of its route.  Not only did I lose
a marvelous friend and colleague, it became seldom when I could do
more IBM cards.  But I kept accumulating lists.

I seek someone who will want all this data to put together the over-all
listings John and I had in mind.  I don't think eBay is the medium for
this.  If you are or know someone who will be interested, please contact
me at  since50s@gmail.com.geentroep [delete ".geentroep" to reply].

To all my friends and fellow collectors from someone whom my dear
friend Ruth Bornand recruited in 1947 -- Best wishes!
