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

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

CONDITION: I would say VG or VG minus - light surface scuffing, minor scratches which do not affect play. Labels good - no tears: The Fiery Cross In The Vale side label is better than the other side - In The Light Of The Fiery Cross. Both labels have needle marks - light on the first side, scratches on the second. Both are completely readable and intact.

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.

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. Here are six photos of the horn: http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn1.jpg http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn1.jpg http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn2.jpg http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn3.jpg http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn4.jpg http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn5.jpg http://users.stargate.net/~macclark/phono/VictorHorn6.jpg Please call (or email) me OFF-LIST if interested.
