[Phono-L] Seven now known
I'm sure we all have that kind of thing or two taking up room. Things that look very cool, usually electromagnetic (for me) and are extremely well made, but I don't have a clue as to what it is or does. Scarce and rare but probably worthless. Still, it seems to creep in. After seeing a few episodes of Hoarders it makes me wonder why. :-) uh oh There was a C-1 that emerged at the Stanton auction which Chuck confirmed that as far as he knows, it is number seven. Serial number to come. My case is perfect with the exception of the left pull. Both right and left are carved from a solid block of walnut and there is a chunk missing. I need a master carver and so far have not even come close to the skill set I need. A chainsaw carver won't do. Worse yet, the pulls are glued onto the door panels instead of being screwed on from the back. If anybody knows of a skilled carver I'd be grateful for the information. All of the early electronic machines, to me, are fabulous. It's where the electron and fine woodworking met. There is nothing like rows of large glowing balloon tubes putting forth the sound of a well recorded DD or a similar Victor machine (9-16) and an Orthophonic record. It's the stepping off point from the acoustic period with similarly amazing technology. For years people asked me why I wanted all of that old junk. HA! I think every person on this group knows the answer to that. The days of finding still crated machines may finally be over but hopefully nice examples will still come out of hiding. There's never too much of a good thing.

But I have a friend who thinks an item is worthless unless he sees it sell for a lot on ebay then gets more interested in it, and will only bid on something unless it is extremely cheap or he knows there are 10 known. I keep arguing with him about this but it doesn't seem to matter. I thought Chuck said 2 more turned up recently, making 9, if he was already counting those then I guess there are 6. But those last 3 or 4 showed up in the last few showed up recently so there is hope. I guess it matters if I was going to try and restore a basket case machine. Unless it is rare it is not worth the bother. But there are things I have that maybe 3 or 4 exist and they are still not worth much or very interesting. -Barry ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

[Phono-L] Victor Picture Records
hi all has anyone had any luck repairing early victor picture disc when they have started to delaminate thanks zono ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] Victor Picture Records
Yes, to stabilize delams use Weldbond glue - important to use this brand, since it adheres to plastic and paper - it also works great as a wood glue. It is a white glue that dries clear and flexible. Use toothpicks to carefully raise the delam area and keep it open. Put a glob of glue on a paper plate or other disposable surface and push the glue into the recesses of the delam area with the flat side of a wood toothpick or something else that is thin and flexible. Important: Wipe any excess glue off the record before it dries with a moist paper towel. If the delam curls up, tape it flat with a piece of cellophane tape until the glue dries. This method has worked for me on several occasions and hopefully it will be successful for you.

Re: [Phono-L] Pathe Rooster
Glad to hear the Rooster has Landed, Houston! And I'm glad my mysterious 'well-known record dealer' has identified himself :) I don't like to sell and tell, but thought my valuation of the selling side would be helpful to the conversation. I was pleased with Kurt's offer and am even more pleased to hear that it has been restored and is happily guarding a 10-50. Haven't seen you in a long while, Kurt. I hope all is well. The kids are all getting older and college expenses are through the roof!! But on a more important note, I just bought about half of a Zonophone B, and am setting my sights on learning more about it and perhaps completing another restoration project. Can anyone help with Zono B info??

[Phono-L] Ray Wilenzick E-mail Vic III wanted
Phono Folks: Does anyone have Ray Wilenzick's E-mail address? I had a friend over the other day and he wants me to help him with obtaining a Vic III. A horn is not necessary, as I have a couple. I thought I would contact Ray, as he helped me in the past with a Vic II Vic Vi, for which I am very pleased. Your help with his address and or any phonographs )Vic III)for sale would be appreciated.
