[Phono-L] FOR SALE - Very Rare Montgomery Ward Catalog - Reproduction
I have for sale a high, high quality reproduction of a very rare 1898 catalog. This 16 page catalog was produced by Montgomery Ward. Interestingly enough, It introduced some of the most important and rare machines known today including the Edison H coin-op, Universal Talking Machine coin-op, Polyphone, and Trade Mark Berliner. There are 16 pages chalked full of great information on early phonographs and gramophones. The reproduction was made directly from the original catalog. It was done using high-quality paper consistent with the original. This is a chance to get the benefit of great early information from a rare catalog, without having to pay the rare catalog price! Pictures available on request, I've only had a limited number of reproduction catalogs made. When they're gone, I don't plan to have any more made. The price is $20.00 which includes USPS Priority shipping in the USA. Contact me at mshawnorou...@gmail.com with interest.

[Phono-L] 1927/ Viva Tonal Columbia Felt Colors
Hi All I just picked up a great sounding (and looking) Viva-Tonal 602 this weekend. The only things not up to spec, IMHO, are two cosmetic repairs done: its bumper pads and turntable felt. The bumpers are just the thick, light tan felt you find in hardware stores. The turntable felt is a dark teal/green mix. Thankfully the grill cloth is original which is brown. I'd like to replace the bumpers and turntable felts. Does anyone know what colors Columbia used in 1927? I know the older Grafonolas from a decade earlier used an olive green (or what over time came to that shade now). For the Viva-Tonals, did they stay with green or switch to browns (given the grill cloth is brown)? I don't know if they even cared to match! lol Thanks! ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
Re: [Phono-L] 1927/ Viva Tonal Columbia Felt Colors
My Vivatonals both have what looks like green velvet on the turntables. Bumpers look like green felt.

Yep, the Stanton's price list appears to drop all of the letter suffixes. I wish I knew something about this Kruesi tinfoil replica, such as who made it, and how it came to be auctioned off.
