Mario, Well done! I enjoyed seeing your collection (and you). If you were a bit nervous, you hid it quite well.

The one I have has a pit on it, and I do not want to damage the saphire stylus on my Edison Cylinder Phonograph. Sincerely, Paul R. Kondig From [email protected] Mon Sep 10 20:19:16 2007 From: [email protected] (DeeDee Blais) Date: Mon Sep 10 20:25:08 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] VV-XVI Cabinet Message-ID: <[email protected]> Hello Group. Does anyone have an interest in a good solid mahogany VV-XVI cabinet? It's a "G" series cabinet made shortly after the "L" door XVI's. It includes the name tag, horn, original knobs, casters, and motor board. Also included is most of a Cheney motor, Cheney reproducer, crank and turntable. Unfortunately, there's an extra crank hole to accommodate the Cheney motor. The extra hole is in a flat area and will be easy to fill. The price is $100. Please contact me off list if interested. Delivery is possible to Union or ???. Thanks, Jerry Blais ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for a deal?

Message-ID: <[email protected]> I forgot to mention the most interesting extra that goes with the VV-XVI cabinet. It's a record duster that has "Property of the Electrical Research Products Inc. New York City" on the non-fuzzy side. I thought it was interesting that it's not a duster that contains advertising content. The duster is not in very good shape. Any thoughts on a duster with that type of written content? Thanks, Jerry ____________________________________________________________________________________ Building a website is a piece of cake.

So I know that this is a long shot but hey I'll give it a go. I was recently outbid on a Bettini Reproducer (losing bidder). This now means that I'd really like to get one. So should anyone have a genuine Bettini (actual Bettini not one of the Pathe copies) reproducer that they may consider letting go of I would be happy to "Talk Turkey" in regards to compensation.

Was not a bad Bettini Reproducer with the advantage of a carriage for an Edison machine. If only I had seen it before the auction closed!!!! Good luck with your search, I'd also like to get one.............and so would probably everyone else.:-) Congrats on your ABC interview it was really great! regards Rob On 9/11/07, Mario Frazzetto <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > One thing that I have learnt is that if you want something it is often a > good idea to ask for it.

As soon as I opened my September issue, I was attracted to his comments on the still living inventor of modern day recording techniques, Les Paul. I tracked down a copy of the DVD "Chasing Sound", came home, sat down and watched it all the way through. As a life long recording/musician nut who dabbled in some of those same experiments, I was thoroughly enriched. While still in high school, I learned broadcast production on those very same Ampex 300 series tape machines in an historic Los Angeles radio station. Oh, and the wind up portable 78 player featured on the DVD was just like dear old Dad's. Thanks to the modern day Edisons like Les, and the backing of Bing Crosby, the quality of our entertainment as an art form has greatly improved. Bravo Mr. Ramm and keep the great info coming! ps. If you can't make it to New York on a Monday to see Les Paul in person, in the L.A. area the next best thing is to catch a casual acquaintance of mine who plays just like Les. Mary Ford's brother, Bob, plays at the Pub in Upland a couple days a week.
