List of 19-5/8" Polyphon Titles
By Dave Corkrum

The Polyphon catalog was very extensive covering 2,000 different
tunes.  For the 19-5/8", 22-1/8" and 24-1/2" machines, the tune
titles were all the same.  Only the first number changed, e.g., 5001
(19-5/8"), 9001 (22-1/8"), and 4001 (24-1/2").

Kevin McElhone has been working on a book about disc musical boxes
which should be published soon.  According to him, it will, I believe,
have a complete listing of Polyphon tune titles.  However, for the time
being, the only other sources for tune titles is Graham Webb's book,
"The Disc Musical Box Handbook", and the titles I have on my web site.
There are some dealers that still carry copies of Webb's book for a
reasonable price.

Good Hunting,
David Corkrum
