The following was initially intended to be a reply to the Bakelite
polishing subject, but it's far-reaching enough that I changed the
subject line.
One of the best polishes I've discovered recently, that's almost
miraculous in its effect (and yet uses no slimy additives), is
Meguiar's
I stand corrected, the seller sent me an email telling me that at the end
of the Model As Edison just threw any and all parts together to clear the
stocks! I guess he did not know that the Model As went for some time after the
machine he has. The Model A ended around 51000.

Hello Bill and welcome to the best group on the subject. BTWwhat car? I

They will play on a regular 78 rpm modern turntable with 78 setting. They do
not sound their best that way but with the light stylus weight I do not think
wear or damage would be an issue.
I welcome other comments, especially from those who have special modern
equipment to play them with.
Dear Al,
The triumph cost $50 when $5 a day for wages was a good salary. Who would pay
for and why would Edison sell in 1904 a machine with an outdated, poorly
sounding reproducer. Also why would he have an automatic from 1898 and a
carriage from early 1902 (or earlier) on a
Sounds like you made the right decision to abandon this one.

I highly recommend if anyone purchases a phono that the seller says will be
sent UPS, ask them to send it Fed Ex ground. I have had 2 triumphs and an
order of auto parts damaged by UPS. UPS is wonderful for small, light parts,
but larger ones seem to get dropper or crushed by their automatic
Steve, I am not sure that you picked up on Al's sarcasm about the
seller's reply.

UPS should be last resort. I was told FED EX still handles most packages by
hand. I took that to mean that they don't drop from conveyor belt to

I agree with this too. Although I'm not sure that it's easier to collect
from FedEx since I've never had any damage from them to find out. FedEx also
has much shorter lines to stand in for some strange reason.

FedEx does not always use kid gloves when handling packages. During
this past year I shipped a banner front Edison Home in 3 boxes with
each carefully packed to withstand any rough handling. One box was
for the case, one for the mechanism and one for the horn. The
mechanism was
Hi All,
I hate to tell all of you this but there is no magic bullet. I have been in
the art business for 35 years and have used FedX , UPS and others and the
fact is that you gotta build a box that will take just about any form of bad
