History
Musical
Americana has been in the business of selling and servicing antique
phonographs
for
more than 50 years. Until his retirement in 1975, the company was owned
and operated by
Tom Pollard of Soquel, California. At that time the entire business was
purchased by Bob
Fulwider, and Dale Hoyt, and the company was named Musical Americana.
In
1978 Dale Hoyt
retired from the business and Bob Fulwider ran the business until his
death
in early 1990.
Dwayne and Donna Wyatt purchased the company July 1990 and changed the
name to Wyatt's
Musical Americana.
Over
the years, we have been able to accumulate hundreds of complete and
incomplete
machines. Most of these have been dismantled, which allows us to
furnish
almost any needed
part. We also reproduce many hard to find parts to further accommodate
our customers needs.
As we are accumulating and selling parts, some parts listed in this
catalog
may be out of stock
until we can locate additional stock.
Parts

of our vast inventory, it is impossible to list all our in-stock parts

you need a special or hard to find part that we do not stock, we
