I don't know how much of my original message got through to everyone. I don't believe that messages are edited. I have resubmitted my message below. I don't know if people at the auction necessarily want others to know that they were there. It's easiest to say that all the "usual subjects" were present, including some heavy hitters. Two machine went to South America via absentee bid, and two to Arizona. I was fortunate enough to get the Zonophone "Eclipse." So if anyone out there knows anything about these machines, (more than waht is in the Compendium) I would like to here from you either through the list, or at [email protected]. Here was my original message. I mention that all catalog holders and auction goers recieve a realized price list, but not for several weeks. "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] <mailto:[email protected]> " Thanks, Jeff ________________________________ From: [email protected] on behalf of gregory caringi Sent: Thu 4/19/2007 7:16 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Stanton Auction Apparently, no one on this list (or phonolist, or OTVMMB) attended this auction.

This will get you the information you are seeking. On Thu, 19 Apr 2007 11:04:57 -0500, Jeffry Young, D.O. wrote: >I don't know how much of my original message got through to everyone.
