About this title

Synopsis

For over 25 years, the Compleat Talking Machine has served as the definitive repair and restoration manual for antique phonographs. The updated 5th edition delivers practical step-by-step solutions to repair problems, plus includes an identification section with pictures and descriptions of over 300 early machines, and a comprehensive guide to current market values.

About the Author

Eric Reiss acquired his first talking machine, a Brunswick console model, at the age of four and has been actively searching for old machines since his early 'teens.

Mr. Reiss was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1954. After graduating from Washington University in St. Louis with degrees in performing arts and political science, he moved to Copenhagen, Denmark to become a stage director at the Danish Royal Theater. Although he maintains his connections to the theater world, Mr. Reiss now works in marketing -- an equally nefarious occupation.
