Re: [Phono-L] I need HELP from my Phono friends,
Hello, as everyone should know by now I am in a very hard situation and I have to sell off one of my phonographs to get out and save my collection and get out of my mothers home by the 30th of April. I have detailed photos of the machine and can forward them to anyone interested. I need to get as much money as I can and it has to be a quick sale. The machine is as follows. Edison Maroon Gem model D.All original with original 2pc fireside horn and original horn crane.It has a model K reproducer and if you could do this as a paypal transaction would be best. Wanted to post it here before Ebay to make sure it goes to someone that would care for the machine as I have for the past 12 years. I am sure Rob and Joan can speak up for me that I have quality machines. I need need as much as I can get for it and I hope no one would take advantage of my situation to get a quality machine and under cut me in value. If interested please send me your email address so I can forward the photo's to you. Time means everything in this situation as I have to be out 0f my mother's home before the 30th 0f April or I loose everything I own. Please respond quickly so I can get the photo's to you asap. The base has a slight warp to it but has been secured with 4 small washers to level out the machine and the lid has a very good job at veneer repair and looks good as the pictures will show. I need as much as I can get for this machine so I can move and not loose everything I own.Kenneth Keetonemail: onatorr...@yahoo.com please contact me privately through my email and I will return with complete photo's.thanks much,Kenneth PS the machine is timed and ready to play right out of the box.

Re: [Phono-L] I need HELP from my Phono friends,
Men- I don't know Ken, but do write here occasionally and value each of you when things are discussed. I always find new insight from fellow collectors. If Ken could write me / us here, and mention whatever machines he is afraid will be confiscated, knowing which ones I could then write a letter stating in correspondence that I know he has and owns. It's very unfortunate The System will use it's leviathan powers to vacuum up anything and everything it can to justify it's existence. While we are sleeping they are encroaching in areas they shouldn't be- namely confiscating things they have no proof of someone owning. If I can help Ken in any way such as this I will. Even if these items were his Moms , and they aren't in this case, who is the state to be the judge and take everything if Ken is a Son and should get them? Something for all of us to ponder regarding our collections ! Charlie. -- On Sun, Apr 19, 2015 6:36 AM PDT Antique Phonograph List wrote: I will certainly write one Ken.

Re: [Phono-L] I need HELP from my Phono friends,
Kenneth, I also recommend that you look into free legal services that may be offered by your city or county. Many times counties offer free or low cost legal assistance. I also strongly recommend contacting Lambda Legal by calling 866-542-8336 and asking their advice. They will be able to help you directly or refer you. I'll send you a contribution for legal help.John Robles On Sunday, April 19, 2015 3:04 AM, Antique Phonograph List phono-l@oldcrank.org wrote: Dear Phono Friends, My heart died last Thursday when the state appointed guardian for my mother came rushing into the house and demanding my brothers phone number and so I gave it to her and ask her what was going on.
