I was one of the child collectors of phonographs, starting in 1959. In my city another boy six years younger than me started collecting at 11 or 12, as I did.
The cobwebs on the phonographs and horns actually adds a nice touch. Nice to see an old collection like this and the person who assembled it who is still living and able to share some of his memories. Thanks for the enjoyable video.
Incredible collection! As with anyone who collects things and is in a later stage of life....don't leave it to the family to figure out what to do with it after you are gone!
When was the last time those phonographs up on the top shelf got polished, oiled, etc? My biggest concerns would be rust, swelling, and warping. I only have 5 machines, but I take really good care of them. Why collect anything if it's just going to rot up on a shelf somewhere without getting any love or care? Let's take a little more pride in our collections and not collect just to say you have a particular machine.

I suppose you can't mention the older man's last name, but I think I know of him. Does his last name begin with an H and end in an L?
The machines have Cobb webs on them and most need to be cleaned up. It is a shame they seem to be growing old in what I suspect is an un-air conditioned room. Not cool. Non collectors will watch this video and conclude the phonographs are junk.
