 | danski39 Member since Oct 2024 3 Points | Hi What a fabulous forum and site this is. Stumbled upon it the other day after dusting down a box of one hundred odd 78s that I acquired years back on a whim having bought an old HMV gramaphone at an auction. I’d hoped to find a few of my old favourites among them sight unseen but the only one was Your Feet’s Too Big by my beloved Mr Waller. Anyway it means I own 120 78s which have no great meaning to me. I’d love to find some that do - but having started a wish list it looks like most are hard to find and expensive. One way or another Id like to find homes for all the ones I have - Fats excepted natch. So if anyone wants to scan the collection I’ve added on the site and sees sth that is of interest please holler at me. Not checked any of them closely for quality - unlikely to be anything in mint condition but happy to let you to take a look at pix and be the judge for yourselves. Only one has a crack as far as I can see - and it’s an early Elvis annoyingly as I’m guessing that might be one of the more valuable ones. Also, Anyone who has Joe Hill by Robeson or Rosie the Riveter by the Four Vagabonds and who wants to part with them - these two have real sentimental value to me so I would be interested in buying them. Cheers |

 | mister_tmg Also on 78rpm Member since Apr 2012 1118 Points | Glad you found it Dan. If only every other 78 collector was on here! Welcome. Regarding the ones you’re looking for, try Discogs or setting up a saved search on eBay. |

| Pridesale Member since Mar 2013 792 Points | Alas most dont have a (realisable) ££ value. Tommy Dorsey one maybe. Sold a few of mine to record fair dealers. You havent added your country to your "my page" profile which might help others to see if you are local. Have you got a means to play (and hook up to record to MP3 or whatever) the treasured discs. It would be nice if there were a repositry for our 78s to go to when our children cannot afford the storage or the sorting time of them. I have sold some of mine over the years but posting away is tricky and worse since brexit for costs to Germany and elsewhere. When you look at your collection page there are some that give indicative values, which are about right retail. For your wants its worth noting that some are avalible in 45 format for post 1947 issues and others have CD and similar audio so you can virtually collect if not have the discs which when you do play them have a feel all to themselves |
