Hi,
I have developed something of a passion for the larger Edison coin ops. I am a
keen restorer and as they are rather scarce out here in Australia, I would
appreciate hearing from anyone who has a spare cabinet for sale or who knows of
one (any model), I would appreciate them contacting me on
mtuc...@exemail.com.au. I can arrange transport. Thanks, Mike Tucker.

Hi All,
If anyone has a Columbia 122 portable, can they send/post some pictures to help
a new owner of one? The pictures required are described below.
Thanks,
Keith

I just bought one [Columbia 122], and was wondering if
you could send me a picture of the mounting side of the sound box,
when it is not mounted to tone arm. On the one I got, any red rubber
gasket that was apparently there originally is missing and all I have
is a little brass flange with a mounting pin inside of it. The little
pin attaches to the tone arm. I guess what I can't figure out is how
the loose flange mounts in the box with the rubber gasket.
A further email asked for, another picture or two of the back
side of the 122 reproducer

Today an e-mail came into the OTAPS (Oregon Territory Antique Phonograph
Society) website about repainting a horn. Here is the question.
Hello! My friend has been given a gramophone horn to repaint for the owner.
What techniques/paint do you recommend? It is red w/morning glories.
Does anyone have any advice I could pass on to them?
Thanks
Dan

First strip old paint from horn, following directions of whatever product you
choose to use. Before painting, make sure the surface is clean, and free
of all product, dust, steel wool, or whatever. Find a clean wind free
environment to paint, so as dust and other stuff doesn't stick to the new paint.
For larger horns as may be on a Columbia, or Edison machine I suggest the
Krylon Metalics Red; For smaller horns such as a Gem, or a client machine, I
suggest the spray on stained glass window paint found at craft stores like
Michaels. After priming the horn with silver primer, spray color evenly and
lightly to avoid drips. It may take several coats to get the desired
brightness, from candy apple to dark maroon. When dry, paint the pin striping
as suggested in the 'Complete Talking Machine' by Eric L. Reiss. You may
choose however to use a gold paint marker for inside the horn, it gives a nice
clean line. If you choose to use a brush on the inside, a water based gold
paint is great, it dries waterproof, and you can wipe it off quickly and easily
if you screw up, and in most cases you will. Flowers can be painted on with
acrylic paint, or you can use model paint. Books like 'The Complete Book Of
Decorative Painting' by Tera Liegh can show you how to one stroke paint on the
flowers in the Tea Tray fashion. ALLWAYS USE A GOOD BRUSH! An easy way out of
painting, is to use floral transfer applique's. You just rub them on, and then
just touch or dress them up using paint. They are water resistant, but can be
removed with oil if you want to. I used these on a horn from an Standard X-2 I
purchased from Tim Fabrizio, and after changing hands a few times I saw it for
sale on E-bay. I think the buy it now price was $1450.00. Anyway, I hope I've
given you some good ideas. Good luck, Jay
