[Phono-L] FOR SALE - NEAR MINT VICTOR III WITH OAK HORN
For sale today is a machine I have owned for quite some time. It is the nicest Victor III I have ever seen, which is why I have kept it. It’s time to move it on. The machine is absolutely stunning. Everything, with the exception of the gaskets in the rebuilt reproducer, is original. The finish is stunning. The pen striping is as near to perfect as you can find. Wonderful original felt. Awesome #20 smooth oak Victor horn. It has an excellent dealer tag on the front as well. It’s a strong player and sounds absolutely wonderful. Not sure what else I can say, but if you have questions, I will be glad to answer them, take more pictures. A reprinted Victor III Instruction manual is included with the machine. If you are looking for the best, this Victor III may be for you. The price is $2,500. Shipping is additional. I can deliver to Stanton's in the fall, and possibly the Wayne Show. No PayPal, but checks are fine. I have pictures that I can share with those who have serious interest. Please contact me with interest or questions directly, additional pictures at mshawnorou...@gmail.com Thank you Shawn -- Shawn O'Rourke (248) 915 0954 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org Unsubscribe: phono-l-unsubscr...@oldcrank.org
[Phono-L] FOR SALE STANDARD SPEAKER
*For sale today is a hard to find, some may say rare, Edison Standard Speaker. * *This Standard Speaker is in nice, original condition. It has an original french glass diaphragm and a new stylus. The cutter looks whitish, and I have not tried it. The nickel on the Standard Speaker is stunning. It presents exceedingly well overall and is one of the nicer ones that I have ever seen. * *Standard Speakers were offered starting in 1889 until 1902 (according to Frow). What makes them special is that they had both the playback and recording stylus on the same needle bar. An adjustment to the angle is all that it takes to change from play to record. While it was much easier to use than having a separate reproducer and recorder, the Automatic reproducer functioned better for sound reproduction. Therefore the Standard Speaker is not often found today. * *This would be an awesome opportunity to dress up one of your early Edison machines with a hard to find reproducer. They don't come around that often. One did just sell on EBAY, but that was one of the first ones I've seen sell in a very long time. If you are interested, don't wait. This early stuff is not that easy to find. * *The price is $775.00, Firm. Pictures available upon request. Postage and insurance is additional to where you live. No PayPal, but checks are fine. I can deliver to Stanton's Auction or Union with payment. * *Please email me with interest at mshawnorou...@gmail.com* -- Shawn O'Rourke (248) 915 0954 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org Unsubscribe: phono-l-unsubscr...@oldcrank.org

[Phono-L] For Sale - Columbia AP
I have a Columbia AP for sale. This is an exceptionally hard machine to find. It was given away as a premium by Columbia, and few seem to have been made as very few are found today. I know seen less than 10 of these in 30 plus years of collecting. The one I offer is completely original and in very nice condition. It plays well.

[Phono-L] For Sale - Early Victor I
I have a very nice playing and looking Victor I (One) available. This is the earlier model with the small case and beveled turntable. It plays through a record really well. It is all original. The only real objection to the machine is that someone messed with the elbow in the past, causing denting on the sides. It has nice original finish, respectable pen-striping, a nicely rebuilt and playing Exhibition reproducer and the early small brass bell horn. If you are looking for a nice Victor One (its not perfect, but very nice), here is your opportunity get one! I can share several pictures of the machine directly with those who have interest. This will be packed carefully for shipping. The price is $775.00 plus shipping to you. No PayPal, but checks are fine.

[Phono-L] For Sale - Salter Record Cabinet Catalogs - Reprinted
Folks, Once again, through the generosity of a fellow collector making his original catalogs available, I am able to offer reprints of three very rare Salter record cabinet catalogs. Each of these three have wonderful pictures and descriptions of Salter manufactured record cabinets. I must say, by reading these catalogs, I discovered new cabinets I never knew of previously. I also discovered that Salter actually made some of the cabinets that I was aware of, but did not know the manufacturer. Today, there are three being offered: - Highest Quality Columbia Cabinets - Salter Manufacturing Company - 16 pages - *$10.00* - Talking Machine Record Cabinets (disk and cylinder) - Salter Manufacturing Company - 24 pages - *$15.00 * - Record Cabinets - Salter Manufacturing Company (cylinder and disk) - 40 pages - *$20.00* These are wonderful reprints made directly from the original catalogs. They are reprinted on paper that is consistent with the originals. They present well, and contain wonderful information for the collector. No PayPal on these, but checks are fine. Shipping additional. Please contact mshawnorou...@gmail.com with interest. -- Shawn O'Rourke (248) 915 0954

[Phono-L] FOR SALE COMING TO UNION SHOW
Folks, We're less than four weeks away from the Union show. Here are a few of the items I will be bringing! Table-Top Version of the *Brooks Repeating Phonograph*. This is the only known example of a table-top Brooks Repeating phonograph. It is stunningly beautiful, completely original, and works flawlessly. A very rare bird, indeed. *Rectorphone*. This is another rare bird. The Rectorphone, created in 1906 by Enoch Rector, was intended to be powered by a treadle sewing machine. However, it ended up being a very simple phonograph with a spring motor. Very seldom found today, this machine works wonderfully! Original *Columbia Crank *for an AJ, AK, A, and possibly other Columbia machines. Super nice example of an early *Berliner Record* by the Metropolitan Quartette. Early *Seven Inch Record Carrying Case*. Nice, hard to find, and great for your Berliner, Victor and Columbia records. Super nice example of a *1000 Needle Victor Needle Tin*. A great example black with gold lettering in very, very good condition. Of course, I'll have all of my paper reprints there as well. Pictures can be made available to those who have serious interest. If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me directly at mshawnorou...@gmail.com Thank you Shawn O’Rourke -- Shawn O'Rourke (248) 915 0954
[Phono-L] FOR SALE - Victor Rear Mount Concert Reproducer
I have a really nice example of an early reproducer for sale. It is a Victor rear mount Concert reproducer. This one is in very good condition. It plays loud and retains its original diaphragm and needle bar. There is some nickel flaking and a couple of minor blemishes on the knurling. Nothing to really detract from the reproducer. This one has a new rubber flange installed and is ready to use on your machine. These reproducers were an upgrade from the Exhibition reproducer on rear mount machines. They are not commonly found, but do appear on Victor D, MS, M, and early I - V machines. Pictures available on request. Don't miss out on this one. Price is $275.00 plus shipping. No PayPal on this, but checks are fine. Please contact me with interest at: mshawnorou...@gmail.com Michael Shawn O'Rourke 248 915 0954
[Phono-L] For Sale - Rare Rectorphone Reproducer
For sale is a Rectorphone reproducer. The Rectorphone, created in 1906 by Enoch Rector, was intended to be powered by a treadle sewing machine, However, it ended up being a very simple phonograph with a spring motor. It was distributed through mail catalogs, specifically the Baird-North Company. Not a big seller, and surely infringing on patents, it is is very seldom found today. When found, many times the Rectorphone is missing parts as they were easily removed or lost from the simple construction of the phonograph. If you need to complete a machine, or are looking to find a Rectorphone someday, here is your chance to pick up an original reproducer. It is missing the stylus, but otherwise it is complete. Pictures available upon request. The price is $150.00, plus shipping. Please contact me with interest at: mshawnorou...@gmail.com Thank you Shawn Michael Shawn O'Rourke 248 915 0954
[Phono-L] For Sale - Diminutive Floor Crane - All Original!
You saw it in the Antique Phonograph Society's December issue, now it is available today! Over time, I will be selling a few of the items I own that are already documented, or will document in the Antique Phonograph Society Magazine in the articles - I saw it, and I Never Saw It In The Catalog. Today, we have one of those items. It is the Diminutive Floor Crane. This crane stands just under 36 inches, but will extend to over 50 inches. Almost every aspect of it is of a diminutive size, about ¾ size of a regular-sized floor crane. As I shared in the article, while very cool and small, it will function successfully as a floor crane for your machine. However, the largest horns would be somewhat precarious on this crane. Best to stick with a smaller 24 to 36 inch horn! The price is $250 plus whatever it costs to ship to you. I have a couple pictures available to send directly to you if you are interested. No PayPal on this, but checks are fine. Please contact me with inquiries at: mshawnorou...@gmail.com Thank you Shawn -- Shawn O'Rourke (248) 915 0954 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
[Phono-L] For Sale - Cleanest Drip Pan Gem I've Ever Seen!
Today, we have one of those items that hardly comes available. It is a Drip Pan Gem. To add to the allure, this is absolutely the nicest drip pan Gem I have ever seen in 30 years of collecting. The paint is beautiful. The pen striping is nearly 100%. The nickel is bright. It is a 100% original machine that is definitely a collector grade of the highest order! This is Edison's first model Gem. It is called a drip pan Gem by collectors today as it has a metal drip pan under the motor. Edison did not produce a case for this machine. It is as simple and elegant as you get. As well, these are hard to find, almost impossible in this condition. It plays about as well as most other drip pan Gems, which is only okay. The motor runs smooth, everything is present and functional. The reproducer (unique to this type of machine) has been rebuilt with the correct, French glass diaphragm. I can't express what a beautiful example this is of a very hard to find machine. Check out the pictures and see if you agree! Even advanced collectors keep these in their collections. They are one of the earliest examples of Edison products being produced for a short time starting in 1899 (The home came out in 1898). I have several pictures available that I can send directly to your email address if you are interested. The price is $1250.00 plus whatever it costs to ship to you fully insured.

[Phono-L] Fraudulent Sale on Ebay
Good news regarding the fraudulent sale on eBay. Because I notified paypal the day of the purchase (I came to my senses and checked the guy out) and because I shared what I discovered from others on this email link with other collectors around the country their knowledge of a Lithuanian crook using the same pic's of a Victor unit, they placed a block on his reimbursement. They also will be on the alert of this person and notified eBay of the scam artist. Thanks again for this connection to other collectors the help you all provided. I now have my money back and hopefully will spare any further pain for future buyers. Thanks Randy Larson ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
Re: [Phono-L] For Sale German made NOS Exposition reproducer and Early Holey H, H with holes in the weight
I appreciate it when people offer things here instead of going right to Ebay. Anyone who buys a reproducer from Steve is going to love it. Dave From: Steven Medved steve_nor...@msn.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org; phonol...@yahoogroups.com Sent: Mon, March 26, 2012 12:02:12 PM Subject: [Phono-L] For Sale German made NOS Exposition reproducer and Early Holey H, H with holes in the weight If my posting bothers anyone please let me know as I actually enjoy fixed price offers from fellow members as it keeps me up on prices and I have made purchases. I am actually taking a loss on all of these as the H I will install new gaskets and you will get it at the price I paid for it and there is no rebuild charge. Holey H: It is an average looking H with a shiny top. The H with holes in the weight I paid $115 for and after rebuilding it I will sell it at $115, it is all original and in the correct band of serial numbers (A290,000 to A340,000) for the H with holes. All I need to know is if you want the stylus bar made not to move or to swivel. Edison made the swivel bar to compensate for the fast wear of the wax amberols, it did not work and by 1910 he fixed the bar in the H, K and J. Fixing the bar makes it track properly, but that is up to you. German made Exposition reproducer: There is a tiny bit of rust on the one flat spring that I left there intentionally, but I would grade it 98% and it looks new until you look close. Then you can tell it is old. I have reproducers I forgot I had so I want to reduce by selling about half of the ones I have. As you can see I am selling it for the cost of the parts I have in it, I am not making a profit especially when you include the labor I put in the rebuild. Here is a New Old Stock German Made Exposition reproducer with a paper label behind the mica. The reproducer HAD three problems, the flange, the mica (sound) and loose label. I corrected all three. Most of the rebuild people charge $40 just to replace gaskets, the instructions Victor has for the Exhibition tell you to put the needle bar up to the mica, but you get better sound and more volume with the bar around .003 away. First the metal flange would not fit Victor machines, I solved this by adding a Exhibition flange ($7.00) from Ron Sitko. To do this I had to tap the holes to 5-40 which I did by first tapping them to 4-40. Next I added two Exhibition flange screws from Ron Sitko ($10.00 for the pair, they are very nicely made and blued). Finally the mica was cheap looking and looked like the poor quality mica you see today with the large punched hole and the delamination on the edges so I replaced it with a NOS Exhibition mica ($7.50). Years ago I paid $40 for the reproducer in its box. As you can see not counting the rebuild, clean, and new gaskets I have over $60.00 in this reproducer. I cleaned the nickel in clock cleaner and then used Flitz so the nickel looks almost new. The back was painted black and has the original black paint that looks new. The paper label came loose, I cemented in back in place and installed new gaskets and sound tested it. It sounded better than the Exhibition I rebuilt with the hard gaskets back in the 1980's. I will include 5 loud tone Everest NOS Swiss needles and 5 gold plated medium trek needles with it. The needle bar has a round hole. The cost is $60 plus shipping and to cap shipping at $5.00 I will make the cost $65.00 which will include priority mail shipping with delivery confirmation in the 7x7x6 priority mail box. You will get the reproducer, its original box, the tissue paper it was wrapped in. The reproducer will not be packed in its box to prevent damage. If you have an offer that is close let me know, I will go by the first full or close offer I have. I have two of these, one is rebuilt the other will need to be rebuilt. I rebuilt if for someone that did not want it and will sell the second one at the same price. After selling all the reproducers I want to sell I will not break even as I purchased the diamond reproducers at full price and they all had bad diamonds. If I was not honest I could recover my full cost, but my reputation is worth more than money and I did not buy them to make money, I purchased them to keep. Now that my research is 90% complete I want to get rid of at least 50% of the reproducers that I have. Steve ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

[Phono-L] Holiday Sale
I have several items available for sale today! All are available through this list and others. Packing is free, shipping is whatever it costs to get it safely to you. Pictures available upon request. If you have interest, just email me at mshawnorou...@gmail.com Edison Triumph A - I have only dusted off the dirt. It is an Edison Triumph in the earliest green oak case. This one has the square corners, indicating an early case. Even more special, there is a neat celluloid dealer tag! The tag reads Jacot Music Box Co 39 Union Square New York. This is a very respectable machine. The motor is strong. All gears mesh well, and it runs very quiet with good solid springs. The upper works are really clean with most of the pen-striping present. There is a little belt slippage that should be able to be corrected with a tighter belt, or tighten the pulley. I'm leaving all the fine adjustments up to the new owner! There is original finish throughout. The case is very nice with an excellent decal. And again, a super cool dealer tag! There are no extra holes or any veneer damage on the lid. It could look even better with a little cleaning. There is no horn. The original square hole crank and a very nice early model C reproducer come with this machine. The first $875.00 takes it. Edison Standard Model A. Here we have a machine straight from the owners house. It is an Edison Standard in an early green oak case. Overall, this one is a nice machine as is, and with a little attention, would be a really great piece. The motor is strong. All gears mesh well, and it runs very quiet with a good solid spring. You can see a previous repair, or braze, on the speed control arm. This is solid, works fine. The upper works are really clean with most of the pen-striping present. There is original finish throughout. The case is very nice with some obvious denting on the front, most probably due to crane. There are no extra holes or any veneer damage on the lid. It would really spiff up with a little cleaning. There is no horn, and no crank. It came with most of a model H reproducer. It also came with an original chip brush (or most of it) The great news, I'ts cheap. The first $215.00 takes it. Early Columbia Crank - Here we have another really nice item! it is an unusual, early Columbia crank. The knob secured on by a screwed in post rather than a rivet is the clue that this is a super early crank. It has an early knob as well. Overall, nice plating, all original little piece. A great upgrade for an early Columbia disk or cylinder machine. It should work well on several early models! The first $65.00 takes it. Edison Dictaphone Reproducer - An unusual piece, in super condition. This is clearly for a Dictaphone. However, I put it in a regular Edison carriage, and it played a record very well!. This one looks to be complete and all original The first $25.00 takes it. Michael Shawn O'Rourke 248 915 0954 ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

[Phono-L] For Sale: Rare Klan Record
I ran across an interesting record recently, which shows that the Klan was alive and well in Michigan in the 1920's. I grew up in Michigan and was never aware of it's existence there. I have seen and owned other Klan records, but never one that was made in Lansing, Michigan - most that I have seen are from Indiana or southern states. This one is by the Imperial Quintette, Lansing, Michigan and is titled The fiery cross in the vale - this is a re-write of a famous Christian hymn. FYI - Just to be clear: I am not in any way affiliated with the Klan or promote them, nor do I believe in what the Klan does or has done in the past and I am not a racist. I collect odd records of historic significance and that is what this record represents - an interesting historical item, ONLY. This is probably not for everybody, but as a historical record I believe it to be very rare.

Re: [Phono-L] For Sale: Rare Klan Record
My introduction to the Klan discs was to find several of them on a trash pile on a curb, several decades ago. The label on most of them was 100%, which meant nothing to me until I played some of them. They were pressed by Gennett, so that's why the location is always taken as Indiana. There is also a KKK label, which turned up later some place. For the most part, the songs are parodies of songs that were popular at the time the disc must have been pressed. Without looking now, I recall that one was titled: Barney Google, Clansman, a parody on the Barney Google song. Another that comes to kind is: The Old Flaming Cross, a parody on The Old Rugged Cross. They weren't very original.

[Phono-L] Foe Sale Edison Model B Gem with banner decal
Hi Gang, I have for sale an Edison Model B Gem with a banner decal on the lid. The machine is solid with good veneer, finish, and striping on the machine. The banner decal on the lid is good, too. Overall, the machine is a clean and excellent example. However, there are some issues: The spring is either broken or unhooked.. The little nut that holds the Mandrel in place is missing. One of the screws and washers on the bottom of the wood base is missing. There you have it, a good, clean Banner Model B Gem with minor defects.There is no horn or reproducer(I can add one on for $100.00). Price is $350.00 without horn or reproducer.The price includes priority, insured shipping. If a reproducer is wanted, add on $100.00. Don't forget, shipping is included.

If you are not interested / delete now with my apologies for sending this email to your inbox. For those of you that are interested / here are the details We all know these original wood horns don't come up very often without having to buy the entire phonograph. This one is priced at $950 + shipping. These normally range from $1200 to upwards of $1500 for a pristine example. This one is not without flaws and is priced accordingly for a quick sale to a fortunate collector. This horn is very presentable and would look great on any Victor 4 or 6 machine. Please see pictures (links below). The horn has one major flaw (among other minor blemishes) that has been repaired and it looks fine now. The horn has the original finish and I suspect may have a top-coat of shellac on it. The original Victor Dog decal is all there / the alligator finish makes it look worse in the photos than it is. The horn itself is SOLID. I do not have a horn elbow for it. Shipping: I prefer this horn be packed and shipped by UPS (not me), unless someone wants to pick it up in person. I live in northwestern Pennsylvania about 25 minutes south of Erie, PA. This can only be shipped within the 50 States within the continental U.S. (not Alaska or Hawaii). I would not be surprised if the packing and shipping and insurance charges by UPS approach upwards of $100, depending upon where you live within the United States. However, if packed by UPS, it will be done right and insured. If UPS packing/shipping/insurance is more than $100, I will pay up to $50 additional money to get it safely to you. So, the most this horn would cost anyone would be $1050 to your door.

[Phono-L] FOR SALE: 1927 Victor catalog and Victrola XI instructions
Hi Everyone -- Still fall cleaning... Two items this time: -- A 24-page 1927 Victor Orthophonic Victrola Electrola and Radiola Combinations catalog. This one is missing the covers and the pages have been exposed to water at some point in their past. All of the writing is still perfectly legible and the photographs are still clear -- there's just a bit of pink tinting in the middle of each page. I'm thinking that $20 would be a fair price. -- A reprint of the instructions for a Victrola XI, Type G. This one is a very well done reproduction -- I thought it was the real thing until I saw it was printed in 1980 by the AMR Co. of Seattle, WA. The sections are Unpacking and Setting Up the Machine, How to Operate, Victor Tungs-Tone Stylus, Victor Fibre Needles, Speed Regulator, Care of Motor, Sound Box, Care of Records and Causes for Poor Results. $8.50 If you're interested in either of these, please contact me off list.

[Phono-L] FOR SALE: Phonographs for sale and a Nirona portable box
Hi Everyone -- It's still fall cleaning time around here, and I thought I'd re-post the information about the phonographs I still have -- and there are some additions. I'm happy to send photos. Here's what I have, and if you'd like any of these or more information, please contact me off list: PHONOGRAPHS 1. Vanophone -- Good working order and all parts original (at least as far as I can tell). This is the version without the speed control slider on the front. $345. 2. Polly Portable phonograph -- This is the one with the paper collapsible horn, which is present and in good condition. The carrying handle on the case has one tab missing, so you can't pick it up by the handle (not that you'd want to anyway). Otherwise everything else is there and original. $125. 3. Another Polly Portable -- This one is missing the paper horn and the handle has been replaced. A good machine for parts. $85. NIRONA BOX 1. The Nirona portable phonographs originally came in a hard cardboard box that had illustrations on the sides. As you might imagine, these boxes are fairly rare because they were often disposed of after the purchase. The top of the box I have is torn but it is all original and gives you a sense of what the box is like (pictures will tell the story better than I can). $40 Weight Loss Program Best Weight Loss Program - Click Here! http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/c?cp=N0E2ohf9ksBGtYaq4stGWAAAJ1D2EGWQJgc2Zfu3rGBZpu80AAYAAADNAAAEUgA= ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Afte defending eBay (mentally if not physically on this board) for a long time, I got my comeupance today.?Two days ago?I put several items on eBa for sale, including a nice Vic III that I have. I am DESPERATELY trying to raise $2800 in a short time to buy a harp to replace?mine (which developed structural problems).? I need to raise this money SOON!? So I listed some phonoe items that were near and dear to my heart, including the III. You may remember what I went through trying to get a back bracket for it. So this morning, I find that eBay has REMOVED my items because I did the unholy deed of saying I accept Paypal and personal checks (held for clearance). Apparently you cannot accept mone order or personal checks on ebay any more. I didn't know this because I don't?read every piece of claptrap that ebay sends me. I use the Turbolister to create my listings, and it caugh that I offered to accept money orders, and it gave me an error code on that. So I changed it. BUT it did NOT give me an error code on the term personal checks.? So I guess some grunt at ebay whose job it is to check such things found it and pulled m auctions. I had $460 in bids on the III when it was pulled. They sent some sort of email to my bidders telling them the items were being pulled. I was FURIOUS. I wrote them an angry letter, and they basicall said too bad. They were nice about it, bt at the end of the letter it said I should not respond because they would not receive it. Nice and caring.? Anyhoe I relisted most of the stuff, and the Vic III is item number 110374580209.? I am so desperate to raise the cash that my buy it now on this item is only $1995, which is less money than I have into it. So if you want a deal, there it is.? As for ebay, they disguise their corporate greed behid the veil of 'protecting their sellers from fraud'. They own Paypal, so of course they want you to use it exclusively. Arrgh.

[Phono-L] For Sale
I have a couple of Victrola cabinets that need to find new homes. The first is a nice golden oak VV-XI cabinet. It includes the key and crank escutcheons. The cabinet is in good condition but is missing some wood on both sides of the motor board. There is no motor board or name tag and the knobs are incorrect. The other cabinet is a mahogany VV-X cabinet that's been painted black. There's no name tag or motor board. Both are nice cabinets and worthy of restoration or use as parts. They are $40 each and that includes delivery to Union. I'm happy to answer any questions.

[Phono-L] Auction sale with edison and pathe phonographs
The place that I am dealing with for my upcoming antique auction sale in May is having a sale on Feb 16. They have listed a Edison Standard Lg. Horned Cylinder Phonograph, excellent condition, oak, matching wooden cover included and a Pathe Floor Model Phonograph, dark stain, castors, various records stored in lower cabinet. The sale is in Wainwright Alberta in case any one would like to come up to our frozen climate that we have been having lately. I can copy the pics they have of these if you want me to send them to you privately.

I will be listing the following items on eBay soon. If any body is interested in them before I list them, please contact me off list for pictures. Thanks 1) Original Victor Schoolhouse 21 1/2 horn excellent condition with nice decal with adapter to fit a regular elbow $1250.00 2) Edison Concert early with drawer. Nice original case and lid. Carriage was repaired years ago. Serial number in the 5100's. B reproducer. Plays great. $2200 ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com From clockworkh...@aol.com Sun Sep 16 22:46:12 2007 From: clockworkh...@aol.com (clockworkh...@aol.com) Date: Sun Sep 16 22:50:42 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Re:Fake edison auction? Message-ID: c66.19bb9af2.341f6...@aol.com Greetings Rob: That is the third time that put together machine has been auctioned on eBay. Something is wrong somewhere. The cabinet is correct for a late Edison coin op but the bedplate has holes for a spring motor which were not drilled for the electric coin machines. The Triumph Model B topworks with the latchgate is correct for 1906 cabinet but since you are not shown the topworks in detail you cannot see if the mandrel shaft drive pulley was the larger diameter or the normal size as would be found on the spring driven Triumph. The AC/DC motor is from much later and would never have been found on this date machine. The trip arm is home made at best and not original. That is the tip of the iceberg. Lastly this machine was on eBay earlier this year. If my memory serves it once sold as a Buy It Now of $7,500. A one day auction on eBay for a rarity is usually to pull in the neophytes who then don't have the time to research authenticity and value.

We had a speaker at our historical society talk about the 4 amusement parks in East Providence RI. He used post card views mostly and on one of them of Crescent Park, from the early 1900s, there was a building marked Edisonia. I thought it might be for movies but cylinder phono exhibition is another possibility. Anyone ever read/seen a description of an exhibit marked Edisonia and what was in it? Thanks, Ron L

Phonofriends, I would like to thank everyone that has purchased something to help me buy my Alva. I'm getting near the end of my fund raising and thought I would offer a few more things. I have the following: Vic I with brass bell horn. It's an early Vic I in exceptional collector quality condition. The case has original finish, the nickeling is excellent, the back bracket paint and striping is nice, the turntable has very nice original felt and the horn is excellent. The horn is 19 long and has a 12.25 bell with an excellent black background decal. I think the horn is quite unusual and must have been an optional horn for the Vic I and it does taper down to accept the small size elbow. The horn has original black paint in excellent condition and the brass bell is exceptional (not perfect but about as nice as any I have seen). The Exhibition reproducer is early and has the round needle hole. An ordinary Vic I would probably sell in the $1200 to $1300 range. The price for mine is $1350 and I don't think you will every have the desire to upgrade from this machine. Vic E rear mount. The above description applies to this machine and it is offered with the same horn. The Exhibition reproducer has the quick release lever. Price is $1400. Vic IV with #19 black horn. This machine has its original finsh and the nickeling is very nice. The #19 black horn is exceptional and has the original black paint, decal and striping. The price is $1800. Thanks for considering the above machines. The prices may not be a bargin but they are a good value. I need to raise just a little more money and when I reach that point I will stop selling so the above machines may or may not be for sale for very long. I'll be home today after church so email or give me a call. Thanks, Jerry 541-926-2843

I thought it was ok to post for sale items... most post them as pre ebay sale. Then interested parties can contact you off-list. I know I am always interested in what people have for sale.

There is no commercial arm of Phono L equivalent to the 78-C adjunct to the 78 list but we are all interested in hearing about machines and related items that are for sale, I think.

Ron L -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf Of Ken Danckaert Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2006 9:22 PM To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Subject: [Phono-L] PhonoL could be great I'm a new member of PhonoL and posted a hello and was rapidly welcomed by Loran and Ken and Brenda Brekke. I collect and do a lot of restoration work. I was looking for a place to meet other knowledgeable people and share information. I have to admit that I was rather turned off by the rants on Ebay, the other list, etc. I was also turned off by the apparent willingness of some to bid up their own auctions. This list seems to be a good old boy list because so many on it don't use their own names, yet they all know who each other are. It makes it very difficult for someone new to feel like they belong. Maybe I'm looking for a perfect world that doesn't exist. I don't see too many ways to sell my machines outside Ebay other than Todd Augsburg's site or Len Bilton's. Maybe the members of this list could come up with some vehicle for selling and posting wants. It would sure be helpful if you knew the interests of other individuals. Maybe the list could find some way to let individuals list their areas of interest. These may all be old territory that has been discussed on the list before. If so, I apologize. I would sure like to find a way to contribute in a positive manner to the list. John Pisano made a couple good points on Ebay auctions, re. use credit card and Bidpay, but they seemed to go unnoticed. The discussion all went to bad shippers and bad packing. That is a given reality. How about someone posting constructive good packing tips? There has been some limited mention of some. Anyway, I hope PhonoL can be a real asset to both new and old users.

If I may direct you to another forum at which I spend a fair amount of time - it is for collectors of stuff from the Golden Era, 1920 - 1950. The board is excellent and a lot of the several thousand members exchange photos, advice, etc. every day. You can have a look at the format anyway. I think it is a lot of work to put together. I've often thought it would be excellent for phonographs and once looked into it myself. The software is from VBulletin: http://www.thefedoralounge.com Scott So let me know how you feel..
