Collectors and 'pickers' have found many exceptional phonographs in junk stores or yard sales over the years, some worth well in excess of $10,000.00. But they are very few and far between. Running queries on online auction sales is a good way to get a handle on the true market value of your phonograph.
The original phonograph was invented and patented by Edouard-Leon Scott in 1857. He called his device the phonautograph and he patented the invention on March 25 of 1857. The initial invention made a recording of sound waves on a glass plate, but it was not able to play back the sounds.
Record Stores: Local record stores often buy used vinyl records, especially if they specialize in vintage or collectible music. Visit nearby stores and inquire if they're interested in purchasing your collection. Keep in mind that they may offer a lower price compared to selling directly to collectors.
Rock n' roll, blues, and jazz records produced from 1960 to 1970 are the most valuable. A “valuable record” can range anywhere from $500 to $3000. Anything over $3000 and we're migrating more towards the “rare” albums which are valuable because of unique characteristics (see the above section)
The materials of which discs were made and with which they were coated were also various; shellac eventually became the commonest material. Generally 78s are made of a brittle material which uses a shellac resin (thus their other name is shellac records).
A phonograph, later called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name in the UK since 1910), and since the 1940s a record player, or more recently a turntable, is a device for the mechanical and analogue reproduction of recorded sound.
In addition, there was a shellac shortage during World War II that sped up the end of the 78 RPM record era. The last 78 records were produced in 1959. Even though 78s are no longer made, there are still collectors looking for these types of records.
Yes. Records from the 60s and 70s are often worth a lot of money if they're kept in good condition or have any additional rarity or value, like artist signatures. It still depends on the record's condition, rarity and market demands, but on average, 60s and 70s records are going to be more sought after than most.
The phonograph allowed people to listen to whatever music they wanted, when they wanted, where they wanted, and for as long as they wanted. People began listening to music differently, people could now analyze lyrics in depth. The phonograph was also instrumental in the development of jazz.
