Not to rain on the Parade, I thought the new venue was bad. Not conducive to sales, especially since the regular dealers were in a totally different room up front. There were more vendors than customers. Even at opening time there was no line and just a trickle all day. Yes I sold a Vic 5, and was able to buy 150 nice blue amberols . There were many phonograph sales, but they were to other collectors (vendors). My point is, The time has come for OTAPS to Sponsor our own show. The Pacific NW demographics are perfect. We can pair with the Radio clubs (who refused to participate in this show) as well as MBSI and AMICA and even get the Jukebox and record collectors to participate. Sounds of Nostalgia can become a big deal. It will require us to do some work, but I think it will be very successful, our club will grow and I believe with exposure more elusive phonographs will show up.
