The phonograph continues to give pleasure. I overhauled the reproducer, set the speed with a strobe disc, and have played perhaps two dozen sides by now; listening as I continue to clean, polish and fuss over its cosmetic issues. This is the first time I've used an image-hosting service, so I hope it works for those interested in viewing the machine. Viewing the photos shouldn't require any kind of log-in. You can double-click each image to see it large, and also drag the entire browser window larger, which will stretch the photos even bigger. If there's something pertinent to be aware of that relates to a particular image, I've put in a brief sentence or two that should appear below some of them. You can see in the images that I "borrowed" the lower key escutcheon from my XVII. Still looking for one of these if anyone has one. Finally, the "before" series of pictures isn't a true untouched view. I had already done a quickie clean up to get the first layer of grime off when the before photos were shot. The after 1st cleanup photos show it as it looks right now. There's still work to be done as can be seen. Here's the link: http://s599.photobucket.com/albums/tt71/andybaron_photos/Victor%20VV-XVIII/ If for some reason it doesn't work for you, let me know. Best to all, Andy Baron Santa Fe _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
