Ron L -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Ridgeway Sent: Saturday, November 15, 2003 6:19 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Phono-L] "Windham" Phonograph ? Hello Folks ... I purchased a "Windham" phonograph a few days ago and took a few pictures of the componets while the machine was disassembled today. It is a Queen Anne style cabinet with a domed lid. The only marks I found were on the lid support mechanism; marked "The Wilton" and patent dates on the "Fibroid" casters. The cabinet has a grille work mounted in front of the horn opening. I suspect there once was a grille cloth. The turntable is covered with green felt. Most of you know me as a newbie. This is my second machine. I suspect a manufacturer may have produced this machine to be sold under private label "Windham." The motor appears to have an Edison type governor. The tone arm is ball bearing mounted. The reproducer fits into a spring loaded 45degree coupler that fits into a spring loaded socket that swivels up and down. The crank side of the cabinet has an additional smaller hole through which a thin rod about 12" long travels toward the motor but I do not seen anything on the motor for this rod to attach to nor do I know the function of the rod. If anyone out there would like to take a look at some of the pictures I've taken, say so and I'll be glad to email them to you. I'd like to know what I've got here before I sell it I don't think I got a good deal on the unit but it does work and the seller threw in about 50, 78rpm records ... some of them are recorded on one side only. He also gave me many new needles for both diamond disc and lateral cut records. Once again, thank all of you for your past help and encouragement and a special thank you to Loran for maintaining this list.
