Listened to...and saved copies of...nine of the ten sound files (see my 78-L
post...!). I have NO idea how many "red" Vocalions I own...but IIRC it is
a fair number! I was lucky enough to pick up about a dozen of the vertical-
cut predecessors of these, at a yard sale here in Oshawa, Ont'o...they
cost me $10 for all of them. H&d Vocalions bear 12xxx catalog numbers,
and were sold 1918-19. I'm still working on a way to convert many of my
"half-vast" shellac archives to sound files...?!
