Thanks to those of you who sent photos of Viva-Tonals. Having only dialup internet I have encountered difficulties seeing some of the photos but have "forwarded" them to a friend who is an artist who will undertake to restore the decorations. The local antique phonograph repairman has sealed the joints in the horn but says the soundbox diaphragm is badly damaged & wants replacing. The under lid decal is missing. So I need the following:
1. Columbia Viva-Tonal soundbox diaphragm 2. Columbia Viva-Tonal 810 under lid decal Please let me know if you know sources for these two items.
