I was a rabid coin collector in my earlier years, too. I wonder how many of us have numistmatistic tendencies, or have in the past! A whole bunch, I bet. Record collectors are the same way about label variatons and alternate takes as coin collectors are about similarly miniscule minutiae, and

[Phono-L] Any Edison Crapographs?

2007-08-18 Thread john robles
If I am not mistaken, the crapophone industry in India was a domestic industry for awhile. There are many areas of India where electricity was not common, and in fact India produced 78s into the 1960s. I am guessing that crapophones came into existence as a practical item for playing records bec
