IMPORTANT: As I can't play any of the transcription discs I am listing, I am just going to grade them all as G+ even if they look to have no issues or scratches as most of these discs are or approaching 70 years old. I will list what I can as far as the scratching I see on any particular disc. Recently I have been fortunate enough to come across a number of 10", 12" and 16" transcription disc which mostly date to the 1950's plus a few non transcription ones. They came out of a personal estate, recording studio of Ron Hartsema. If you have ever heard of the Musical Fountains of Grand Haven Michigan, he was the original voice of the fountains and he created all the music for the fountains. I have no way of playing these albums and as most already know, the 16" transcription ones will not play on a standard turntable. From what I was told many are hard to find pieces and that the albums in his collection were acquired and kept in good condition and if I note anything that seems to be major I will do my best to note it. There are U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps albums along with many which are radio spot advertising and promo albums which run quite a variety of items to also include some 1950's car and beer spots. These albums are all 60 - 70 years old and have been handled and played many times. If interested then please check back to my other listings, store from time to see what I have listed. Since I do not know more about these items please do not hesitate to ask anything you many want to know. These will be listed as I can in the coming weeks. Thanks for reading.
Offering a 16" radio transcription (2 sided) disc from the 1950's and put out the The Federal Civil Defense Administration. The disc is Civil Defense radio announcements one 1 side and a children's program on the other. One side features This Is Civil Defense with 10 radio Civil Defense spot announcements and the other features Bert The Turtle doing a dramatized children's program. Bert The Turtle right out of the cold war / atomic bomb era. Disc looks very good with only very few and very, very light scratching. I honestly do not think there are any scratches that would effect any playing/listening. Thanks for looking … Mel
Sorry for any inconvenience but I usually ship only to the lower 48 states unless the buyer contacts me first to check on the shipping as Alaska and Hawaii shipping can be much higher.
