Re Paypal. ther have been some heated discussions here on that topic, but I am just sick because there was a cylinder cabinet I wanted desperately on ebay, but the only way I could pay for it was by Paypal on my credit card, because my partner's mother recently passed away and we have a lot of extra expenses right now. It only went for about $385 or so...killed me. If anyone has an Edison cylinder cabinet with the drawers and will take Paypal and will ship via Fedex Ground or some other reasonable shipper..I'm your man! John

I don't take any seller seriously who doesn't have PayPal by now, anyway. I can't believe some ppl still hold out on that. Anyway, seeing in the description that the doll is from the 20's, or so he thinks, I realized I don't know anything about these dolls. When were they made? And technical questions about the player mechanism, like what's the proper RPM for those cylinders? Are they vertically recorded? Cellulose coating on a heavy cardboard former? How many titles were available? Any info on the voice artist who made them, and/or where they were recorded? I do know this: that doll looks like it's in truly amazing condition. I've never followed a phono doll auction, but I'm following this one. best, r. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john robles" To: Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 7:56 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Whaddya think it will get? > Saw a Madame Hendron doll on ebay - the seller is selling the 5 records > SEPARATELY.
