A high end cylinder machine is listed on eBay as "completely restored". A look at the photos shows a gear cover, horn support, mandrel, etc. in awful looking condition, and a finish on the cabinet and horn that resembles polyurethane. I guess this tells us that you can't believe everything you read on eBay postings, doesn't it?

Hi All: Due to space commitments in the October Issue of "In The Groove", a few neat items had to be deleted from my "Anything Phonographic" column. I don't want you to miss out on these -and there lots more stuff in November - so I'm posting the section here. I hope you enjoy and seek these artists out. I'm pretty sure the formatting of the italics and bolds won't come through but I'm pretty sure you'll be able to read it. Steve Ramm Addendum to "Anything Phonographic" This month I want to share, and recommend that you seek out and learn more about, some new performers who fit right in with the music we love and collect. I think you?ll be more than delighted at what you find. Carrying on the tradition ? As I noted earlier there are some recent performers you need to know about. Imagine what would happen if The Andrews Sisters were still performing and making new hit records with their same signature sound and arrangements. Next, imagine that they recorded not only their big hits like ?Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy? and ?Java Jive? - along with a fabulous vocal arrangement of Glenn Miller?s hit ?In The Mood?? but they ?covered ? Heart of Glass? by the ?80s pop group Blondie and the feminist anthem ?I Will Survive?. Imagine no more. Meet The Puppini Sisters, a young trio from the UK who pull this off beautifully on their debut CD Betcha Bottom Dollar (Verve). And they dress the part. (If you can see them live on tour, that?s an even better treat!). If you love the 1930s ?sister acts?, you need to know the Puppinis, who by the way, are not related though one ? Marcella ? is really named Puppini. Now if Bob Wills and western swing is your thing, or maybe you love Ellington ?s ?Take The A-Train? or Benny Goodman?s ?Air Mail Special?, I?ve got another sister act for you to meet. (Yep, more sisters, though these are related.). The Quebe Sisters Band (pronounced like the city of Quebec without the ?c ?) has just issued their second CD, Timeless. Each of the three Texas-born siblings (backed on guitar and string bass) is a champion fiddler. Add their vocal harmonies and you are in for a treat. Trust me on this. You will hit the replay button after hearing the 14 tracks on this disc. It should be available at one line music stores or head to _www.quebesistersband.com_ (http://www.quebesistersband.com/) and listen to samples. ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com From [email protected] Fri Oct 5 14:15:50 2007 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Fri Oct 5 14:24:30 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] Re: The Edison Paoers Project - Not Done Yet!

And, if so, how does one purchase a copy? Thanks, Al Al: The prime Phono years were 1876-78. Volume 3 covers 1876-77 and Volume 4 covers 1878. You can find these on Amazon.com They are HEAVY!

Gojo really cleans grease well, I thought cotton cleanser was not as good, but maybe for a phonograph cabinet would be more gentle. You are sure right about the price.
