I have a long and somewhat odd history with old phonographs and records. During my early years on the Cape I once salvaged several old Enrico Caruso records - 12” in diamete r and only recorded on one side – from an abandoned dune shack . Over the years I also bought several dozen more old records from Ben Thatcher’s Sound Museum in East Dennis. I kept them all , though it was years before I had anything to play them on.
