Re: [Phono-L] Phono find of a lifetime
You never know where you will find a gem. Can’t wait to see the pictures. Kat Hall From the Desk of Kat Hall Executive Assistant to Ms. Smith (Publisher) Champagne Book Group Review Coordinator Author Liaison www.champagnebooks.com www.carnalpassions.com www.burstbooks.ca From: Antique Phonograph List Sent: Friday, March 6, 2015 11:41 PM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: [Phono-L] Phono find of a lifetime Good evening all. Great finds are the thing that keep us all searching out there, so I thought I would share mine. This is long, but worth the read, I think. Several weeks ago, I was in a friend's luthiery studio (he builds guitars) in this artists cooperative. The first friday of each month they have an open house for the public to come into the studios and look at (and hopefully buy) art. This couple came into my friend's studio, and we got to talking. The husband plays sax in a 10 piece big band here (does ten pieces qualify as a big band?). The husband and my friend were talking, and I was talking to the wife. I told her I was familiar with that vintage of music because I collected and repaired antique phonographs. She got all excited and said she had a phonograph and record cabinet she wanted to sell, along with a large number of Edison records. Her grandfather was an Edison dealer who sold Diamond Disc phonographs in Phoenix, Arizona. He sponsored Tone Tests at a local auditorium, and there was a lot of paper such as programs, photos of the artists, newspaper clippings praising the performances, Edison Advertising materials, etc. Sadly she wants to keep all that as it is part of her family history. So anyway I was on my way to her home, thinking it's probably a C250 or something. I arrived on the scene, and in her entrance hall was an Edison Beethoven Edisonic phonograph with the Long Play attachment and reproducer!! The reproducer was in its original holder and cloth bag. The record cabinet she mentioned happened to be an original Edison Diamond Disc cabinet!! If you have never seen one, it is a long, low cabinet made of quartersawn oak, with two long pull down doors, one above the other. Each of the two rows holds 80 Diamond Discs. But the fun was not over... There was an OroTone 78rpm attachment in original box with instructions, in excellent condition. There was also a small black notebook with the index of discs in it. And then there were the discs. Over three hundred Diamond Discs, mainly in the 51000 series. And although many were without sleeves, as they had been in the cabinet, they are in amazingly good condition, most in E to M condition. Some was the dealer's personal collection, some is dealer stock. There are multiples on a couple of titles. And then there were the nine Long Play discs, one of which had it's original sleeve. The numbers I got were two copies each if 10001, 10002 and 10003, and one copy each of 10005, 10006 and 10008. And then there were the really special dealer discs...There were three discs that had no markings, no label, and were recorded only on one side. Two of them turned out to be tuning records for setting the correct speed of the machines, and one was the December 1912 Edison Advertising Record! It was a disc that was played on a machine, and Harry Humphries extols the virtues of the new Edison Diamond Disc phonographs.and how they are better than any other. I started going through the discs before I even got them off my truck, and in an Edison sleeve with no hole cut where the label is, I found it. Holiday Greetings from the Bunch at Orange!!! No original sleeve, sorry to say. Tomorrow I go to pick up the machine and cabinet. I will upload photos then. John Robles

We really need to make it clear once again that your name does not appear in the return address field or anywhere in the body of the email when you submit a message to this group. Whoever it is that is asking for Terry Baer's information is not signing their name. Peter Fraser has asked twice who it is, and the closest thing to a response was Just me.
