I agree, Loran. I searched the net for the Archives and came up with zip.

ok, i can't hold back any longer.  i admit it.  i am the Columbia 
Records Archives (not affiliated with the Columbia School of 
Broadcasting, the District of Columbia, the Columbia Broadcasting 
System, or South America's Republica de Colombia).  yep, that's right, 
me.  i just haven't told anybody yet, especially not the people who run 
the internet thingie.

after all, if somebody else can be the reborn National Phonograph 
Company, why can't i be the Columbia Records Archive?  that other guy 
channels Mr. Edison, the company's founder, and sorta the same way...i 
channel Mr. Columbus, the founder of Columbia Records.  in fact Mr. 
Columbus (i get to call him Chris), speaking through me, told me to 
tell you that he's really glad i'm doing this to uphold the great name 
of Columbia Records.

i have a garage full of them Columbia records...red-label Harry James 
ones, especially, which as everyone knows are RARE RARE RARE even if 
you've never seen that eBay thing.  i've got lots of them Columbia roll 
records too, but they're all sorta mottled looking plus my record-tube 
player needs a new steel needle anyways.  So i just archived 'em all, 
out there in the garage.  at least i think they're out there - haven't 
seen 'em for a while now.

you can send me yours to archive too, and in exchange, i'll send you a 
realistic-looking appraisal of $9000 each for them.  also you can 
donate money to the Columbia Records Archive Garage Expansion and New 
Roof Fund via my PayPal account (account name:

Hey Loran,  
The seller is from Hillsboro, Oregon.  Must be a buddy of yours.   You need 
to do some educating of your fellow Oregonians!

Since an appraisal from a record archive is involved, I'd say this is Rather 
Complex Ignorance.

I suggest we all email him and offer the same cylinder at various prices 
from $5-$25......lol.........If he gets 50 offers to sell him one for 
$10 that would be a clear message......

I dediced to be polite and wrote the guy to explain that I knew a lot about  
Edison and Columbia cylinders and that he was really wasting a fee payable to  
ebay.
 
The guy is weird and wrote me the following which I thought you might all  
want to get a post-Labor Day laugh from. (If the guy was naive, that's one 
thing 
 but this guy is arrogant - though he calls me that):
 
He replied:

Not to harp on your rude,  snot-filled email. E-Bay is totally aware of the 
responses I've had.  Six  to be exact.  You're right about not selling it, but 
I was not charged for  the listing.  In the hallways of CBS Records, Inc. in 
NYC, 51 W. 52nd  Street are plenty of photos of these old cylinders.  I don't 
know where you  live but if you're ever in NYC and really interested, they have 
a small museum  of early Columbia recordings, including the cylinder 
recordings, the players,  etc.  I DID post a very nice photo of it which 
received many 
 compliments.  You're the only one laughing.  I still don't understand  why 
you find it necessary to reply in a rude way.  Since you didn't honor  my first 
request not to email me again, I'll just block your email address and  you 
can send all the nasty emails to E Bay listers you feel like hurting.   I feel 
fine about what I did.  .Hope you have a nice time wasted by sending  nasty 
emails to people.
 
Hmm. Ebay didn't charge him? wonder why? By the way he relied to two folks  
directly on the ebay item but he removed the second one and only left the  
comment about the photos that he's sorry that the one person didn't get.
 
Now, to add to the humor and put this guy in perspective, I checked out his  
AOL public profile to see his hobbies and background. It's public info on AOl 
so  enjoy it below - though I hope you aren't offended by some of his crude  
language. (Note that "cylinder record collecting" is NOT listed as one of his  
hobbies!<g>.

Subject: [Phono-L] Oak Victrola XVI
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Hi Friends,
I purchased a Victrola the Sixteenth over the long weekend.  It is in oak, and 
has serial number VV171114.  All of the VVXVI machines that I have seen have 
been mahogany.  I wonder if any of you Victrola experts know how many of these 
were made in oak.  This machine is the square rather than L door type.  I also 
noticed that while there is a pin on the bottom of the tone arm to trip an auto 
break there is not an auto break installed.  Was the automatic break an 
optional Item?  There are no extra holes on the board beneath the turntable.  
This is the second time that I have seen a sixteen set up this way.  From the 
descriptions in look for the dog I'd say that this machine was built after 1912 
but before 1914.  At one time I had a very useful list of Victrola production 
dates by model, and serial number.  Someone on this list sent it to me.  I have 
misplaced it, and sure would like to get another copy.   If any of you 
Colorado, OWAPS  guys would be interested in a swell Victola IV I have one for 
sale.  Unfortunately I don't have room for both of these machines.  The IV is 
in great condition.  Contact me off list.  
Thanks,
Fred

This is on list, and I have an oak XVI, and it does have the automatic 
shut-off, and the Expedition Reproducer.  I wonder if all XVIs had the 
Expedition.  
It may be big, but it is my baby and I love it.  Have you seen the record 
jackets with the XVI being played in a lobby type setting?

My point is these comments are in a public forum for anyone to read and it's not
anonymous.   I certainly would not want this guy to read the comments.  I have
no idea who else might be reading them.  Maybe it doesn't bother some folks
(shrug).   I'll leave it at that.

Hi Dave,
Thank you for your reply.  I am not sure what you are asking me about the 
record jackets.  I am kind of surprised that yours is the only reply that I 
have received.  I thought we had quite a few people on this list with a ton of 
knowledge about Victrolas.  I wonder if the Auto shut-off break uses the same 
mounting holes as the regular break.
Thanks,
Fred

Personally, I'd give anything for confirmation that this guy read every single 
word.  Further, I'd love the opportunity to meet him face to face and berate 
him for his dishonesty and arrogance.  But then, I have this thing for 
irresponsible people being held accountable for their actions...  Maybe that's 
just me.

He may not be trying to rip anybody off.  He might just be a lunatic.  In that 
case it's likely that nothing anyone says to him  will change what he thinks.

The manual brake has different screw holes when compared to the 
semi-automatic brake.  I'm pretty sure the semi-automatic brake was 
available in years your machine was made.  It's possible that Victor put 
tone arms with the shutoff stem on machines that still had the manual brake. 
   It could have been switched out by a previious owner too.  Maybe?  I have 
a couple of machines with the semi-automatic brake and it seems to work most 
of the time.  There's nothing wrong with keeping the manual brake since it 
appears to be original on your machine.
