I'm looking to correspond to anyone in the U.K. who owns ( or owned
one in the past) an Edison Amberola 60 cylinder phonograph. Thank You!

Dear Sirs,

Is there in existence any book which describes in detail
the creation and development of electrical recording from the research which
led to the production of the first, the Western Electric, followed by the
work of Alan Blumlein and others, including the various shellac formulations
used by different companies on both sides of the Atlantic through to the
development of the vinyl LP and stereo recording. 
I have a number of books about the sound recording industry but they
all seem to concentrate on record manufacturers' financial and marketing
concerns while offering only snippets of technical detail
about cutting heads, groove radii, types of cutter heads and lathes etc.
which, apart from enjoying the amazing range of repertoire, is my primary
interest.
Please advise if possible.

Yours faithfully
Noel A. Shaw

Hello,
I am writing to you as earlier my boss presented me with this old
gramophone. I have never seen one like it before and don't have a clue how
much it is worth! The model looks a lot like the HMV 109 here:
http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/10168318. We don't know if it works
either; both of us are trying to figure out how to play it. Looking forward
to hearing from you and we both appreciate any advice or help. Thank you. I
also have a few photographs but I cannot attach them here. If you are
interested in seeing the photographs, I can send them to you via my hotmail
account. 

With Kind Regards,
Holly Toner
