Portable gramophone and 5 cases of misc 78s (Norbiton KT2)

Columbia Grafanola from I think early 1930s my wife bought me years ago - works fine I can send a video.
I also have FIVE boxes of 78s across all genres which I collected from junk shops in the 70s which I would prefer not to junk - there is all sorts of stuff in there from dance bands to famous classical (Moira Hess pianist in WW2 St Martins in the Fields Concerts, Klemperer, Shostakovich, Adrian Boult etc, and some older semi music hall including some of what I think are WW1 Music Hall patriotic songs. And even a 1950s from Les Paul of guitar fame.

Many in original sleeves and even an original album which might be worth a few bob to the right person

Some at least may have some value but I do not have time to catalogue so if interested happy for them to go to you but do not skip until you have confirmed there is no one else who would take them. I did, however, pick up may when cycling to and from school and I did clean them all and play them, so I am relatively affectionate still towards them.

I tried putting the player on eBay but noone will collect and shipping is both complicated and expensive, and I have exhausted the immediate museums and my wife says we need the space to downsize.

There are lots of YouTubes about how to maintain the player and I have some original needles which might be worth more than the repros

I am happy to demonstrate and probably shed a tear when/if someone takes them all out of the door for the last time
