Yes, I am sure that some member of the list is busy right now, preparing a detailed list for those of us who were unable to attend. That is the wonderful thing about this hobby. There are so many great folks out there who take the time and the effort to share this sort of information with their fellow collectors. I hope so too. Hopefully the Rolfs. While realized prices are helpful, it's the reports on the events (who attend, photos of other collectors, and the items) that I find most interesting. Stanton usually published all realized prices (I think) but the other details are only available from those who attended. And this auction had special interest to nipper collectors.

If this is unique...and it seems that it is the only known copy...the sky's the limit. Wish me luck...I can use it. ~tmh From [email protected] Mon Apr 16 07:12:53 2007 From: [email protected] (Jeffry Young, D.O.) Date: Mon Apr 16 07:14:18 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Stanton Auction In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> References: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> I was at the auction. There was a lot of "auction fever" going on. There were a few bidding wars. Thus, any realized prices should always be viewed with caution! Anyone who receieved a catalog typically gets a list of prices realized. Also, remember that with this auction, there was a 10% buyer's premium, and 6% Michigan sales tax. The tax is on the "hammer price" PLUS the buyer's premium, effectively raising the hammer price by 16.6%. If someone shares a realized price list, I hope they tell us if this is "hammer price" or if it includes the 10% buyer's premium. On a separate note, before the auction I was fortunate enough to talk with Peter Dilg about the Zonophone Eclipse. He has the only other complete example that we know of. Anyone that has information about this machine, please contact me through the list or at [email protected] Thanks, Jeff -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Sunday, April 15, 2007 3:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Stanton Auction In a message dated 4/15/2007 2:31:39 P.M.

It's the only posted on any of the newsgroups so far. How many folks would you say were there? REcognize any other bidders? It would be fun to hear about this one as it had both machines and Nipper material. Thanks for sharing. It's great to get good deals at auctions like this but with such wide advertising there's always competition. Often it's "he who has the most toys wins" which - of course ends up as a auction of the estate of the "guy" (USUALLY, but not always) with the most toys - when his family only wants the money - and the room all this stuff took up back. <g> Steve ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I ordered a Victor exact repro elbow from him for my Vic IV. Having only seen the two crappy aluminum repros over the last few decades, I was intrigued,l though still a bit doubtful. I doubt no more. I received the elbow today, and if I didn't know it was a repro I would not have guessed. It is nickel plated brass, and is exactly like the original. No thick clunky metal elbow here. My aluminum elbow was somewhat better than the old aluminum castings, but still when I put it on the horn, and put the horn on the machine, the horn wobbled and when I would try to turn it in the casting, the elbow would fall out. I put the horn into the new elbow, wow, a tight fit!!! I put the elbow into the casting and secured it, and I was able to move the horn back and forth almost effortlessly! I wholeheartedly recommend this elbow, which at the bargain price of $75 will do a wonderful job til you find an original, if that is still your desire after seeing this one! I will post pics soon. Thanks Tim!!
