25th anniversary show set for August 29, 2010

The automated music show is a special, world-renowned show and sale of antique phonographs, Victrolas, talking machines, music boxes, 78rpm and cylinder records, and everything mechanically musical. Our 25th anniversary show will take place Sunday, August 29, 2010 at the Holiday Inn Danbury in Danbury, Connecticut.

We've posted some photographs of the August, 2009 Danbury, Connecticut show. Thanks to everyone who came, dealers and buyers alike!

To all who particpated in the ten years of the Richfield, Ohio show, again our heartfelt thanks. We did not see enough turnout to continue it this year, but we would consider reviving it.

VirtualOH and VirtualCT. Some old Richfield and Danbury shows, photographed aisle by aisle. Not current, but a great way to get an idea of what the show is like.

The For Sale pages. Hundreds of music machines and records offered by Lynn Bilton, the promoter of the automated music show.

Noteworthy News Archives. Twenty years of informative articles about the hobby from our hardcopy newsletter, as well as some content exclusive to the web.
