After my corned beef and cabbage tonight I should be able post the pictures I have.? You are correct Bruce.? This is a Columbia tonearm on the Lyraphone phonograph.? This is?just like?the machine I have pictures of.?The name plate is a little different in style.? Dan's link shows another one and I'd be interested to see what tonearm is on it and the nameplate.? That tonearm is also different from the one I will post pictures of.? It says the photos are courtesy of Loran Hughes.? Loran - are you out there and do you still have this machine? Glenn

Someone obviously at some point in that phonographs life, stuck a cut down Columbia "Tone Arm and Reproducer" into the tone arm slot and the Current owner is incorrectly calling it a Columbia Lyric Phonograph. Everything else seems to be correct. The name plate correctly identifies the phonograph as A Lyric made by Lyraphone of America. A neat little machine. Wish we could see what the correct tone arm and reproducer looked like. bruce ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 17, 2009 11:15:56 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: [Phono-L] Lyric Phonograph Ryan, I think this is the Lyric phonograph the gentleman is describing (though the finish doesn't look much like wood): http://www.montanaphonograph.com/gallery/lyric.html A few pictures of the Stewart (wood grained) can be seen here for comparison: http://www.montanaphonograph.com/gallery/stewart.html Hopefully this can be of some help for your friend. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org From [email protected] Tue Mar 17 14:52:57 2009 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Tue Mar 17 14:56:25 2009 Subject: [Phono-L] 5" Concert Records FS Message-ID: <[email protected]> Hello Everyone, In case anyone is interested, I listed 7 very nice 5" Concert Records on eBay the other day. Nice titles too. If you like Uncle Josh, you won't want to miss these as there are 2 Cal Stewart concerts.

If that is the case than it could be the only record he may have and is unfamiliar with the need to change the needle. All speculation of course, but being a record collector like yourself, I immediately noticed the very tired and worn record sitting on that turntable. Good luck with your negotiations and I hope you are able to add it to your collection. Do keep us informed of your progress. Hope you enjoyed your Corn Beef and Cabbage this evening.

Hope all is well. This is a sad reminder that any one of us could experience this kind of tragedy. A pastor of mine used to say, "Any one of us is just a fire away from being homeless." How true that is. As we all search for and collect our most prized and sought after collections, we need to realize that they can be taken away from us in just a matter of seconds. The reality of all of it is that these items are mere material things and nothing is as precious than life itself. It kind of puts it all in perspective. On another subject...a fellow church member of mine has been experiencing stomach pain for the last coupe of weeks. He went to the doctor several days ago and a battery of tests were performed. Sadly, he and his family were told today that he has pancreatic cancer and has about 18 months to live. All of you that believe in prayer, please know that all of your prayers are appreciated. Again, things like this put things into perspective. Live every day like it is your last and never take one blessing for granted. You all are great and I appreciate this fine forum. Thanks for all of the knowledge that you share. This great hobby of phonograph collecting is great, but it is the fellow collectors and the friendships that make it fantastic. God bless to all and remember to keep the speed limit to 78...rpms, that is! Brantley Williston, S.C.
