I to attended the Austin Show. It was my first time. I wanted to see it because I plan to setup at the next show. I was surprised to see the lack of old music, and the price of what was there. Also the Antique week in Round Top was going on. There I picked up several nice 78's from 1920's - 195o's. Also I got some very nice LP's and 45's. I saw a box of cylinders for $100 but they where in very rough condition. I bought a Victor VV4-3 and VV-VI both in nice playable condition and cosmetically an 8 out of 10. I paid $250 for the both of them and got a stack of 78's with them.
