Hoo boy is that tempting.  I'm 17 years younger than you and will retire in
a year.   The big problems are, how to get them and where to put them in the
meantime.

You can't Take It With You.

To this date I have 35,200 78 rpm Jazz and Dance Band sides on some 1400
plus CD's.
It's a race against time. I'm 82 years old and I only have three hundred
fifty two 10 inch reels, each with one hundred twenty 78 rpm Jazz and Band
sides recorded on it left to go.
At perhaps one six hour reel tranferred to CD (already an obsolete medium)
per day, plus another two days for the paper work it should take from three
to four years, chained to my desk, to get it all done.
Ain't gonna do it. Into the dumpster unless somebody wants 'em.
