Each meeting begins with a presentation of about one hour in duration by one of our members or a specially-invited speaker on one aspect or another of
recorded-sound history. This is followed by a 20-minute social period where members exchange information about records, machines and parts,
survey the auction tables or view one of the displays that members often set up. Following this is an auction of a wide variety of sound machines, recordings and
music-related ephemera. The cost of the meeting rooms and refreshments is paid for by a levy of $5.00 on all members and guests present. Guests are welcomed
at our meetings. To participate in the auction, however, you must be a member.
Members are always encouraged to display their collectables at CAPS meetings, the rare and the beautiful in their
collections, their prized possessions or their latest finds, especially if it relates in some way to the speaker's
presentation. Long time member and repair expert Darren Wallace brought two very rare machines to a recent meeting.
Members were able to hear an early Concert cylinder played on a Columbia Graphophone AB and a Pink Lambert cylinder
played on a Columbia AO Graphophone. Limited facilities are also available for screening short videos during the meeting.
