Fairly new to this site and really really love it..also my new found passion for 78's I think my collection is around 950 now and still need to catalogue. Yesterday browsing through antique store there must have been 1500 78's and YEP i went through every single one..picked up 127 of the babies....labels include Brunswick, Vocalion, Gennet, Grey Gull, Okeh, Blue Bird (yellow and blue label), Crown, Regal just to name a few.
One thing that breaks my heart a perfect condition Sun recording Johhny Cash :shocked: it broke.... hoping to repair and not sure worth anything but might just keep for personal use and reminder to be more careful or if anyone interested give me a shout.
Amongst the Brunswick's they are all early 1920's Jazz and I cant wait to listen.
Just thought I would share...appreciate any comments or conversation.

Hi Debsey - It will be great if you can add each and all of your collection that aren't already on here! I hope you can set yourself up with a scanner so we can all see the labels

Terrible about the Johnny Cash, but you can still scan the label and preserve it for history :happy:

I take it the Margaret Young is one of your new purchases

Sorry, Debsey. I don't think 78s can be repaired. The glue to rejoin the broken pieces would ruin the stylus(not to mention the shellac). Sadly, once broken - that's it! Sie ist kaput!

I repaired a 78 once that was broken in half with super glue. There was glue overrun slightly on the surface, but was playable. I never thought it hurt the needle.
The join didn't last however.
By the way, what's an American doing using the word amongst?
Whilst? Arse?

I certainly hope you recovered from the hernia that carrying them buggers must surely have caused! Way back, yonks ago when I was a kid, I was given a heap of them, some very well known songs in there too(an early issue of Rock Around The Clock, Wayward Wind[Gogi Grant] and Young Blood/Searchin'[Coasters] among them) but getting them home damn near killed me! They were H-E-A-V-Y!!!!!
