I just revisited the eBay listing and have noticed the low serial number and lack of lettering on the body parts. This is an earlier Standard Speaker that has been modified. I see also that the lister has been alerted and edited the listing. So, it is rare but incomplete. I don't know where a collector would find the correct dual stylus bar, glass diaphragm, and crosshead to complete the unit. Any suggestions are welcome since one of my Standard Speakers is missing the same parts? Best Wishes to All, Al Who needs a magnifier to see many eBay photos...

Steve, I am available to bring things back from Union to Oregon (and points west) in June. Could someone bring it to Union? Also, DeeDee and I have talked about driving through Indiana and Ohio in the days following Union. If it is near our route, I could pick it up. I hope this makes it possible to buy the Victrola.

There have been some good posts on it, but certainly nothing like the Old Time Victrola group or this one. Here of late, it's been as lively as a cemetery. I'll admit that I often ignore it, but there's a reason for me. The Yahoo groups have an obstacle as soon as you try to log on: WHY AM I BEING ASKED FOR MY PASSWORD?. As far as I can see, it's just an obnoxious and unnecessary obstacle to put up with, and if there are many like myself. they just don't want to bother with it. This site has no such obstacle, nor has old time Victrola, and all goes just fine. I wonder if the owners of the site could dump yahoo, and get onto a server like this one or like Old Time Victrola. Seems like there should be room for later phono stuff, but why put up with needless roadblocks? Any thoughts out there? Douglas Houston [email protected] EarthLink Revolves Around You.

We're a bit more open minded here. I'm willing to either a) change Phono-L's charter to allow phono discussions from any time period or b) set up an exclusive list for such discussions. Comments?
