In regards to another machine, a buddy of mine has an Edison square box Standard and the serial number is 4. John Robles David Dazer <[email protected]> wrote: Just having a little fun.

I am sure that there are 235 other Phono-L members out there that can beat mine. My Victor VI is odd also in that it is stamped VNO6 with a serial number of 1216.

It had been standing in a shed that allowed the one side to be exposed to the weather. In addition to that damage, it had stood in about 5 inches of water at some point in time. The walnut burl veneer was about ruined. The lid was detached from the hinges. I took it to a fellow for reconditioning and got it back a few days ago. It looks great. I understand the need to recondition phonos as close to original however this machine would be a great salvage effort with any acceptable result. Here is a couple of problems I have with this machine: Short of asking myself why did I attempt this project given its condition and that it is so large I am not sure where to put it in my 1954 ( not a large Victorian ( house. The Sonora reproducer which is a " no. 5 is broken at the throat that attaches to the tone arm. Does anyone have a reproducer for this machine or have any parts recommendations? If some one has a reproducer that has the back portion intact, a complete one could result. I don't have the broken cast pieces to JB( JD?) weld. The lid was off when I took it to the fellow and when I received the refinished cabinet, it seems like the lid is to far forward. the lid is about 1/2 inches " forward from the back and shows a portion of the rear hinge and not flush . Does anyone have some web based information regarding this machine that I could get someone to look at for a comparison? I mention web based info as it is accessible to me given my blindness, I only mention this to put my comments in context Any history about this model would be appreciated. When info is web based, I can read it or have someone look at it for me. In terms of the lid, I could have some pics taken and email them to a respondent for examination. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Web and E-text is great Bob From maffit2 Sun Mar 7 10:20:38 2004 From: maffit2 (Bob Maffit) Date: Sun Dec 24 13:10:35 2006 Subject: [Phono-L] music box info References: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <002e01c40460$1ce5a4c0$291c9...@maffit> Rob: Thanks for the help ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 06, 2004 7:33 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] music box info > you can access the mbsi > music box international site on the net > they have listings there > best > rob > _______________________________________________ > Phono-l mailing list > [email protected] > http://t2.cwihosting.com/mailman/listinfo/phono-l_oldcrank.com >
