Never heard of Rev. Kishpaugh . . . are you sure it wasn't Pershbacher? John P.'s dad was a preacher, but John's the phono man. His parents collected other fine antiques.

I just threw it out because it was on topic. I also have the original Fabulous Phonograph. Those were the ONLY 2 general books on phonos which I think Pop could find in the 1950's. And naturally we went to the Edison site in NJ. for first hand research. ;) In those days, the basement there had not been fully explored...I distinctly remember the guide saying that Edison had so much stuff that it was taking years to go through it. I remember the look in Pop's eye: it was saying, let me go through the stuff. LOL > > Pop did correspond extensively with some fellow in upstate NY, Reverend Kishpaugh (sp?; don't have it in front of me to check sp) who seemed to know a lot about phonos. But I doubt if he ever wrote a book...although after having looked at the letters, I think he probably should have. He seemed very knowledgeable. :) > > Has anyone ever heard of this Rev.
