A buyer has said 'Sold' and some water has been thrown on the fire. Thanks to all who responded.? I find it much more satisfying when someone on the list buys rather than sending it to ebay. It's more like belonging to a fraternity! :-) John Robles From [email protected] Mon Dec 1 16:12:52 2008 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Mon Dec 1 16:13:26 2008 Subject: [Phono-L] Music Box springs Message-ID: <[email protected]>

They were not pretty affairs and the wooden parts were often cut and modified< for instance, to add a take up spool rather than to let the film dump into a bag. Ron L -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Baron Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 11:20 AM To: Antique Phonograph List Subject: [Phono-L] Curious Edison artifact on eBay What do you all make of this? The seller describes it as a "peephole device", but the original serial number plate reads "Projecting Kinetiscope". The cabinet at first glance appears to be home made, but the age of it seems honest; not faked to look old. The external hardware certainly appears to be age-appropriate, and yet the cabinet wood looks like pine or fir, which would be odd for the time. The mechanism appears intact, but I don't see anything that's obviously involved with projection. Is this part of a larger affair, or something made from a more complete device to adapt it to a different use?

Although I wasn't fast enough to your offer, I am glad to see your horn go to a fellow phonobuff on the Phono-L thread. I am sure that I join many others on this group in saying that I am glad to see another venue to buy our beloved phonograph items. With all of the outrageous fees, and the crooks that are showing themselves more and more each day on ebay, I am one that has really weaned myself from ebay. I am beginning to save a little extra money here and there and am looking forward to several phonograph shows next year. I not only look forward to seeing items that I would like to buy, but am looking forward to the fellowship with fellow enthusiasts. Ebay is not what it was twelve years ago when I joined. Money, like it has with sports and entertainment, has ruined what was a good thing. A sign of the times I suppose! Keep 'em spinnin' at 78...rpms that is! Brantley Williston, S.C.
