My wife received her fathers collection. It's very nice. All when he was in England during WWII and then stateside.. A lot of jazz, early blues, tropicals, and big band stuff. a few country western and opera (?) no idea
Most are in books. We fire the Victrola up every now and then..They sure are tough on the oldies though.
The actual records are as perfect as they can be.. 75-85+ years old now.. I'm looking forward to listening to them as soon as my new phono stage is done. Mono setup, Stanton wide tip.
He use to use vinegar and distilled water. A glass tank, fish tank bubbler, a piece of plexiglass with a slit in it and a coat hanger. He's spin the record. Never messed up the index and he would get a new (old) one and clean it up.. Smart fella.. He worked on all manner of American planes stationed in England. Every P series. I still have his notes.. Tune up a Merlin anyone? :-)
Regards
