Re: [Phono-L] What's wrong with this motor?

[Darrell Lehman via Phono-L]

I'd guess the spring is broken on the outside end. I've done several - 
not too difficult if you're adventurous...  If nobody has a better idea 
let me know and I'll walk you through it.

Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Triumph A 2/4 minute conversion kit?

Hello Everyone,

I was wondering if there are any printed or "known" specifications for 
the fabrication dimensions of all of the different Edison reproducer 
"S" or "C" hooks that connect the diaphragm to the stylus?  Like 
actual center to center distance, radius on the ends, wire diameter, 
etc.  Any info would be helpful as I would like to machine a few small 
fixtures to make them instead of trial and error.


Thanks,
Jim Reisenweber

Anyone have or have an opinion on these Opera horns from Peru? How are they in

Also, I am wondering who is the best wizard are restoring the original horn. I 
have an Opera that came out of a farm auction in MN and the guy was quite handy 
and tried a go at fixing it. It has the original decals the rest of the horn 
has at least been lightened and reglued, maybe refinished. It’s not bad, 
actually the bell looks good from a distance, but it is splitting. The elbo he

Greetings,

Our wonderful WIMAPS webmaster, Jim Keuler just posted photos from the November 
21, 22, and 23rd 2013 auction.  It was a three day event and perhaps one of the 
largest phonograph and mechanical music auctions in the USA.  Visit the WIMAPS 
website at:  www.wimaps.org

Over 900 lots were sold and the auction results will be posted on the Stanton 
Auction website at: www.stanton-auctions.com

It was also a celebration of the merger of MAPS and APS (formerly CAPS) into an 
organization now known as The Antique Phonograph Society.  Steve Stanton 
provided an early Thanksgiving luncheon and APS provided a decorated cake to 
celebrate the merger.

Visit the APS website at:  www.antiquephono.org

A subscription to APS would make the perfect Christmas gift to a collecting

Note especially the links to great scans of an Edison promo leaflet for the

They are cool and unique...indeed, special.  I have assembled a set of the blue 
versions, and note that some are beveled and some are flat ended. This seems to 
indicate they stayed in production for a long time.

Are there any facts available on that?  Do they appear in any catalogs?

The titles were the same - different labeling on the boxes and lids though -
Amberol and Blue Amberol.

When the wax Amberol cylinder came out in 1908 and again  when the Blue
Amberol came out in 1912, Edison gave the purchasers of new machines or
converting kits a set of 10 or 12 cylinders that were available only
that way.  They were numbered Special A, Special B, etc.  I don't
think the two sets were the same recordings.  My reference books are too

I'm recording some Blue Amberol cylinders I got from a 2nd hand store

it says 'SPECIAL B.'

The title is FATHER'S ECCENTRICITIES by HILL

Thank you for the posting Steve,

Great timing as our WIMAPS (Wisconsin-Illinois Musical Antique Phonograph

Paul
permanent exhibit at the museum and then pay tribute at his impressive

Remarks from his early music teacher are reminiscent of those said of
Edison. His childhood piano teacher wrote to his mother, Your boy, 
Lester,
will never learn music.  By the time he was a teenager Lester was 
playing

with country bands in the Midwest.  In Chicago he performed for radio
broadcasts on WLS. He is buried alongside his mother (1888-1989) who
encouraged him to pursue his interests.  Les would remark, Two women

life made me who I am: my mother and Mary. (Ford)

A stamp commemorating Les Paul would be great.

[Phono-L] Wanted: Large Gold-ring Victor Record Albums - Have trades

[Darrell Lehman]

The following applies primarily to 10 albums:

Sketchy research tells me the L-door Vic XVI came with albums that 
hold 15 records.


Later square-door models came with albums that hold 16.

Victor also made albums that held 17.

My L-door will not physically accommodate a 16 or 17.

I would like to purchase some 15's

or

I have several 16 and 17's to trade for 15's.

I'm willing to pay postage both ways on a trade.

thanks for your consideration, Darrell

Re: [Phono-L] ebay fraudlent seller

[Darrell Lehman]

I lost out on $500 'cause I didn't cash a phony $2800 M.O.  He was going 
to let me keep that (in addition to the $300 for the item) after I 
mailed the extra $2000 to his son.


It was well done - the M.O. was drawn on a national bank.  But having 
STEPPED off the turnip truck I Googled the bank - they had  branch only 
two blocks away from the one the M.O. was from - Why so close? I asked 
myself.


So I called their 1-800 #.  I gave them the account number - I didn't 
even finish before they told me it was a phony.  The interesting part 
was they didn't want a copy or have anything to do with it - great attitude!


Google's great - I also Googled the phone number of the bank on the 
phony M.O. - it came up associated with three other numbers.  I called 
all four.  They were businesses who had no knowledge of the individual 
but had similar inquiries - they assumed the phone company had listed 
the number wrong.


And all you have to do is let the buyer know you'll hold the stuff for a 
week or two for the MO to clear. They'll either agree or go away.

Over the past 10-12 years I've mailed over 7000 packages - two have

Re: [Phono-L] Fraud Artists and Crooks descend on Craigslist

[Darrell Lehman]

But it's so much fun dialoguing with these guys.  Their grammar... 
grammer... gramma... and syntax is so poor it's almost stand-up.


Glean what you can from my experience

I corresponded with a buyer and received a $3000 CASHIER'S CHECK via 
Overnight UPS for a $300 set of tools I listed on Craig's List.  I was 
s'posed to cash, keep $500 for the tools and my trouble and wire the 
$2500 to the guy's son in a third city.  I already had some red flags 
up high so I Googled the bank.  There was a branch of that bank in that 
town on that street but three blocks away - strange...


So I Googled the bank's phone number on the check.  It was a good number 
and was associated with three other numbers.  I called all four numbers 
- one was an insurance agency, one a drug store and two private 
residences.  All had rec'd a couple calls like mine and all four blamed 
the phone company for publishing the wrong number for the bank.


It was interesting stringing him along for 4-5 days.  He finally said if 
I didn't send the $ immediately, call the police he would.  I told him 
to do so and never heard from him again.  I still have the check should 
the bank ever get an account with that number...


The interesting part is I called the 1-800 for the bank and read them 
the account number.  Before I even finished with the numbers they 
announced it was a bad account number.  After I explained what was going 
on they weren't interested is seeing the check or pursuing the matter.  
I guess they encounter too much to get involved.


If the deal is too good to be true.

But personally I follow-up every contact regardless of what they write 
or don't write; I never send a phone number and I often ask availability 
- some stuff sells fast so why waste time with questions about s/n, 
condition, etc?

Re: [Phono-L] frozen Edison Home pot metal bearing

[Darrell Lehman]

What I'd like to hear is if anyone's got an idea of how to get the 
mandrel/shaft out WITHOUT taking the mandrel off the shaft... ?


I use a bolt with a bunch of several appropriate sized washers to pull 
the old bearing out - saves the casting.


===
john robles wrote:

Hi Mike
Have you removed the mandrel and shaft yet? That is pretty much mandatory.. The 
way I did it (and there may be better ways, this is the way I learned to do it) 
is to grasp the mandrel with rubber gloved hands and twist it back and forth 
until it comes off the shaft. This can take some time. Once that is done, the 
shaft must be removed. Remove all the screws etc that attach the shaft to the 
feedscrew and pulley. Wrap the feedscrew well in a soft cloth, such as a 
washcloth.
Get a piece of rubber with some decent thickness, such as gasket rubber (sold in small 
sheets at auto parts stores) or any piece of rubber that is at least 1/8 or so and 
maybe 1 square.  Wrap the rubber around the mandrel shaft in the middle of the area 
where the mandrel would sit.In the middle of the mandrel shaft.  Clamp a pair of locking 
pliers onto the rubber so as not to mar the shaft. Work the pliers back and forth, 
carefully turning the mandrel shaft and working it out to the right. It helps to have 
someone hold the machine as you do this.With care, work the mandrel shaft until it comes 
out of the bearing. Be very careful not to bend it. Once it is almost out, have your 
helper grasp the feedscrew so it doesn't just fall off when the shaft comes out.
With the shaft out,get a coping saw, stick the blade through the hole in the 
bearing and connect it to the saw frame. Cut the bearing through to the casting 
in two places. Once that is done, use a small screwdriver or a hinge pin and 
gently tap the bearing until it comes out. Making the two saw cuts will ease 
the pressure and allow the bearing to come out. Be careful when tapping it out 
- I once broke a casting that way! but I have since been successful in removing 
frozen bearings in this way.
When replacing the mandrel, you may or may not need to epoxy it back onto the 
shaft - I have had some mandrels with enough friction to keep them on without 
gluing, and one where it needed to be glued.

Here is another issue I am dealing with again.  Who has the best idea for 
freeing up a frozen bearing on an Edison Home Model D without messing up the 
mandrel, the mandrel shaft, gearing, etc.?  I have asked this before, and have 
received all sorts of answers--from heating with a blow torch to freezing in 
the freezer.  I have a tough one right now that I don't want to mess up.  How 
about it friends?  Who can come up with the best way to get that bearing out?  
Thanks for any suggestions!

[Phono-L] Ada Jones Collection For Sale

[Darrell Lehman]

Professor Milford Fargo (of the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, 
New York) was so fascinated when he first heard Ada Jones on records, 
that he spent the last 45 years of his life collecting her records and 
researching her life. (The latter wasn't easy.  She was born in 
England.  Her parents brought her here when she was a child.  She died 
waaay too young at the age of 48 in 1922.)  Despite this level of 
obscurity, Milford was as tenacious as anybody could be.  Through hard 
work, he obtained a copy of her birth certificate and a photo of the pub 
where she was born in an upstairs apartment!  He was told that her 
widower had died in the '40s.  But he tracked the man down and 
interviewed him extensively in 1960!
There are approx. 2,212 discs, about half of which were first copies.  
The rest were duplicates (there are about ten copies of When Francis 
Dances With Me!).  The collection does include the Diamond Discs, 
Pathes and other vertical cut discs.


Bonus for Ada fans who are also label collectors:  This collection 
includes some awesomely rare labels, including McKinley, Excelsior, 
Central, Clico, Eagle and Faultless.  (In some cases, the labels are so 
rare that only one specimen is actually in the collecton, although his 
photocopied discography lists all known numbers that were issued, with 
his notations reflecting whether he had the discs himself or not.)


Additional icing on the cake:  The sale price includes all of Milford's 
correspondence re: Ada Jones, early photocopies, i.e., the early 
photocopy system, of 1890s sheet music with Ada either pictured or 
credited on the cover, and two 7-inch reels of tape containing his 
interviews with Ada's widower, Hughie Flaherty!


Asking $5,000.00 for this one-of-a-kind collection and, given its size, 
the buyer would have to make arrangements to pick it up in New York.


For further information contact Darrell Lehman (nickja...@gmail.com).

I like the AN's ruggedness and design, and I remember Doug Anderson's very well (he was 
justifiably proud of it), but it was a somewhat difficult machine in many ways.  One day I would like 
to find an early Decca trench model reflector machine, one actually from 1914-18, which was 
a more truly portable unit that saw considerable use in France.  I have a later 20s Decca Jr, which is 
much smaller than the earlier trench models but surprisingly efficient tonally, and even 
the Jr remained in use by the British forces into the 20s and 30s.  The 1926 film _The Flag Lieutenant_ 
with Henry Edwards shows one being used on a Royal Navy vessel. PC

Ugly and clunkyness of the A  N, was part of the beauty of the History of it. It was 
never intended to be put on display in your living room (Quite a frightening thought), but 
rather designed to be rugged, and dependable and useful for the boys in the battlefield to 
lug it around and play records around the campfire. Edison designed it for one purpose in 
mind. and that was doing his patriotic best, to design a machine that would be functional 
and hold up under unusual conditions and circumstances. If you are not into the colorful 
history of Edison, World War I, and the Edison AN, it would be a certain mistake to 
buy one . I gave a lecture about a month ago at a Local Historical Society, on Edison's 
Phonographs and Diamond Disc Records, and took along my Edison Army Navy Machine, I set up 
early and kept it covered until the final selection of the evening, which was Let us not 
forget played on the Edison Army Navy Machine. I told the story of the creation of the 
Edison A
 

  N
   

  machine and the Let Us Not Forget Record, and then unveiled the machine. The 
crowd of History buffs were absolutely fascinated by it and ran up to take 
digitals as it played LUNF . Sharing that machine and record and the history 
behind both of them with this highly receptive crowd will always be one of the 
highlights from my years of collecting.

I agree with Bill. I've seen four or five A/N on ebay in that time span. I
remember the cheapest was 650.00, the others were right at 800.00. One was
in very nice cosmetic condition with some paperwork. I almost bid on it
myself it was so nice, then came to my senses about 'where' I would put it.
Check religiously and one will pop up.

So according to the below note it should be available after 5/12 ... ?


Availability Notes

Each full episode of Auction Hunters is posted on Spike.com three days 
after its premiere. After one full week of availability they are taken 
down, and posted again 30 days after the original premiere for you to 
watch indefinitely.

They were at the house for 4 hours to use a eight minute clip. We have been

blew off some real antiques and got excited over a kids Dodgers bobble head
collection that dated way back to 2006! My wife and I have done school
assemblies as well. I believe that we all must do what we can to expose
phonographs to a younger generation if we are to keep this hobby alive in
years to come.
If anyone wants to see The old man (me) on the show, you can view it
online. Google AUCTION HUNTERS and I think it is Season 3 episode 2 (or is
it season 2, episode 3?) The show also featured a second storage unit with a
small speed boat if that helps. If you have cable (we don't) it airs often
on the SPIKE channel.

As a side note, I purchased some phonographs from a guy a few years ago who
bought storage units like the show and he said the strangest thing he ever
found were two dead bodies that were in a box that was sealed in layers of
heavy plastic tarps. Some Asian guy killed these people and forgot to pay
for his unit. The killer left the country and might have gotten away with
it, but he sent a check to the storage unit people from the country he was
in. The local police arrested him and he was soon executed.

I think I'll stick to phonographs.

Re: [Phono-L] ITG Arrives in Oregon

[Darrell Lehman]

Oops!  This was s'posed to go to my good friend Dan only - sorry to 
'sturb y'all


And no I didn't miss the message about ITG not arriving as it should?  
Nor I miss the three individual reports of its arrival in Oregon - which 
seems redundant since 80% of the population probably doesn't know where 
Ore-ee-gone is!


And if you're reporting you didn't get your cell phone bill, I can 
forward mine for you to pay.

Re: [Phono-L] union

[Darrell Lehman]

These folks have spent 30+ years building Union from a couple circus 
tents to what it is today. They've served the sellers magnificently and 
have every right to preserve the integrity of the show for the buyers.  
To start something extra the day before the main event is selfish, 
greedy AND unethical!  And ANYONE who does so should be blackballed by 
the Donley's as well as by sellers and buyers!!  If another show is 
needed, do it the week-end before or after and let the public decide - 
don't rip-off somebody elses efforts.


best, Darrell

So it appears these folks want to be the only game in town? and are 
blackballing anyone who dares to start there own little trading and selling 
station, even when it is seperate and apart from their own operation ? That is 
highly unethical and down right arrogant. Of course this could merely be one of 
those rumors that gets going, based solely on hear say, and snowballs out of 
sight. So let's get all of the facts before we all jump on this.

That{But if they are at the Hess Gas Station down the Street, or have
rented some space at some ball field, then what's the problem ??
Certainly nothing wrong with that. Why should someone claim a monopoly
on the whole area just based on tradition.} was the question raised the
last time as I remember.

If you remember back several years there used to be an auction on
Thursday night and this issue did not really surface until the auction
went away.

There has been an issue with trading in the parking lot on the Thursday
before the show in the past. That has expanded to exhibitors trading
just about anywhere on Thursday if its officially organized.

I am reasonably certain that there will be more info flowing forth on
this topic.

[Phono-L] Cylinders For Sale

[Darrell Lehman]

If anybody's interested in 640 UNPICKED Blue Amberols ($2500 for the 
lot), let me know. For a small fee they can be delivered to Union - but 
need to know this week.


Lots of Billy Murray, Uncle Josh, Collins  Harlan and other comedy. 
Some bands, dance bands, instrumentals and the usual vocals. Eyeballed 
maybe 20% - all looked very nice!
