[Phono-L] Victor III parts needed

Hello from a new member. Can anyone tell me if I can find original parts for my Victor III? I didn't do my homework before buying my phonograph and have since learned it has some obvious reproduction parts. The back-bracket plate found on the inside of the machine is new as are the bolts. The

[Phono-L] The M Electric that got away... was Craigslist Rant

All of these tales of broken deals takes me back to 1964 when a local phonograph dealer had about 80% of an Edison M electric in pieces in a wooden box. I had made a list of all the missing parts and had even gone to the trouble of making them by copying them precisely measured from an

Re: [Phono-L] Steel needle manufacturer??

Yes, it's Bagshaw. They've been making them since the early 1900s. But here's the catch --- you've got to buy A LOT, I mean A LOT -- and they won't be in little bags. So, it's a big expense and a lot of work. For most people it's too big a project, but go to www.whbagshaw.com Regards to

Re: [Phono-L] Steel needle manufacturer??

I bought needles from APSCO in the past but I didn't like them. Under a magnifier the surfaces were very rough and I didn't like the sound. They may have changed suppliers since, however. It was convenient that they were prepackaged though. I'd give them another try. John Sent from my Verizon

Re: [Phono-L] Steel needle manufacturer??

The quote from Bagshaw for 20,000 was 1700.00, or 8.00 plus cost per hundred. Not competitive at all. I see you would have to buy tons to compete with these $5 per hundred sellers. John Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: phonop...@aol.com Date: Thu, 15 Apr

Re: [Phono-L] Steel needle manufacturer??

I observe a difference in shape between antique/original phono needles, and newly manufactured ones. The antique needles I've found are slightly longer, and are tapered along the full length of the needle - a true needle shape. The newly manufactured ones are somewhat shorter, and are not

This is a timely discussion. I have just finished an article for the June Sound Box (California Antique Phonograph Society) on the John M. Dean company. It has details and photos of the manufacturing process a century ago. The process has not changed much in 100 years. On ThursdayApril 15,

There were lots of suppliers 75-100 years ago and they made a variety of lengths, and thicknesses (determining volume) as well as material/coatings. We don't have as many choices now. Ron L -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On

Re: [Phono-L] FW: Brunswick Phono from thr 800's.....!

The quietness was due to the massive (in size and weight) of the now frozen pot metal tone arm and sound box(es) blocking any motor noise from escaping;-) Plus, in the 1800's, they knew how to make things run quietly. Seriously, they were pretty good motors, some nice cabinets too. Bruce
