Join CAPS or Renew Membership

Why join CAPS?
•	You are looking for a new interest or hobby that can be enjoyed without great expense.

•	You have, or plan to acquire, a phonograph and would like to develop your interest by learning about its history or restoration.

•

You have an interest in antiques and would like to focus on one area to learn about and develop into a hobby. The great thing about phonographs is that they don't just sit there; they can be brought to life by playing wonderful sounds from the past - hot jazz, opera, big band etc., all evocative of past times and places.

•

You are an experienced collector and would like easy access to the knowledge and help available through CAPS and its members. There is truly a wealth of knowledge among CAPS members on every aspect of our hobby - restoration, parts and information - and they are only too pleased to share it with others.
