Since I only had the one reproduction that came with my A100 I began watching Ebay for more. The crazy part is the prices range from $3 to $500 plus shipping for mostly "as is" discs. Patience is the key. I found someone selling 25 discs for $15 plus $15 shipping. No one else bid, so I bought 25 discs for a little more than $1 each. Pretty good for 100 year old discs.
When I received them I cleaned them with denatured alcohol. The amount of dirt that came off was incredible.
Now the real test, playing them.
They all played. Some with more background noise than others, but they are all enjoyable. Fox Trot, Tenors, Solos, Bands......a good mix.
I put them in large bags to store them........
