Where do you go to find carefully transferred-to-digital Edison Blue Amberol cylinders? Ragtime, jazz, brass bands and way more?
One of my coworkers pointed out an attractive option: Archeophone Records. Well worth checking out!
(I'm still needing to move iTunes from my old computer to my new computer, which is gonna require digging out the spare monitor and keyboard and making them find each other over my home network before even starting.)

1938 SYNTHESIZER
The Hammond Novachord. You've heard them, you just never knew what they were. It's a genuine polyphonic synth, with a bank of oscillators feeding serried ranks of dividers and clever wave-shaping/note-shaping circuitry and every active component is a great big ol' vacuum tube. "Ahead of its time" doesn't even come close.
...Amazing as it is, now consider the kind of dedication and talent it takes to restore one from "found in a garage" to "like new" and then play it!
