Hmmm... if aluminum was the best they had at that time why did Edison have to provide replacements?
John: By law you cannot remove that gear! Did you read the new Health Care bill just signed by the president? See page 1678, section 1177Y1J2b(c)1aB23.6 of the health care bill enacted by President Obama. It states, " Any citizen residing in the United States in their right mind cannot change out, under penalty of purjury, any original parts to an edison or columbia phonograph unless it is absolutely necessary and the part is beyond repair. If such a part is removed unnecessarily the Secretary has the right to confiscate machine and the owner, et. al." Becareful John. :) -----Original Message----- From: DanKj <[email protected]> To: Antique Phonograph List <[email protected]> Sent: Sat, Mar 27, 2010 9:54 pm Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Amberola A-VI help Not so much a point, actually. Seeing as Edison & Co realized it was a problem & provided replacements, it's perfectly legit to seek another replacement today. I see nothing wrong with a better alternative to the best they had at the time, which was aluminum. ----- Original Message ----- From: "john robles" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 27, 2010 9:39 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Amberola A-VI help That's a point. I bought it because it was so unusual and beautiful, and maybe the noise is a part of that. but that aluminum gear is going to keep on wearing down...I like the nylon idea!

Enjoy it squawks and noises and wrinkles. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
