Re: [Phono-L] Decal Disaster...
Good idea. I hate to think that I blew $30 for a practice though...although after this I will know how they react. They are very good quality, while the decals were on the bracket (before they shrank and tore from my using the wrong solution first) they looked like the real thing!

Re: [Phono-L] Class M
Hi Brad, Have attached a photo of one of the motors we made. It would certainly be possible to have the cabinet parts made. As I use a quality maker to do this work, I can't be absolutely sure of what it would cost, but as the drawers are the more difficult part, I would estimate around $750 to $1000. Photo of one of my cabinets is also attached. If you are thinking of making up a machine from my parts, I would do the cabinet at cost. Alternatively, I would be interested in obtaining the remains of the cabinet you have if you prefer to let it go.

Re: [Phono-L] Decal Disaster...
Don't cut them in half. You will not be able to match the edges. Trim the backing so you can hold the decal with one finger and slide the wet backing out from underneath it. Sliding it out along the long axis works best as the decal will tend to tear and wrinkle if you try and slide in off along the short axis. john robles wrote: Hi Steve Yeah, I haven't applied decals since I used to build models when I was a teen.

Re: [Phono-L] Edison Triumphwith repeater
Nothing previously on the doors, sorry. I have brought in some more machines recently though. Tell me again what it was you required and I can start a new search for you. I'm not sure how to start telling about the repeater. I bought mine as a loose box of parts many years ago and had to figure out how to mount and use it on my Triumph back then. It was pretty much self explanatory. The setting/stops might be the biggest point of walking you through setting them. Try playing around with it and then ask me questions maybe. I'll do my best to help you figure it out. The long course screw mounted at the front edge of the bed plate picks up the carriage by way of the arm with the little flipper like thing at the end of it. This arm mounted to the carriage along with this feed screw like devise lifts the carriage then returns it to the starting point preset for the cylinder record. It'll repeat over and over as long as the motor continues to run.

Re: [Phono-L] Decal Disaster...
It's not a question of patience or detail, it's a question of experience with the medium. I am not the type to let one failure make me give up the learning process and let someone else do it; what if Edison gave up on something that didn't work the first time? Also I have a lot of dexterity and enough patience and detail orientedness to replace 2 and 4 minute sapphires in stylus bars, I think I'll conquer this when the new decals come.

Any of you folks out there have any information on these repeaters? I'd like to know the history and how to operate them. Also, if any of you collectors have any literature or instructions on how to operate the repeater. I would gladly compensate for copies of it. Thanks in advance for your help.

Re: [Phono-L] Victor Doors CAPS show
Hi Scott, CAPS is iffy this year. If John Hoffman doesn't have the money this year to pay his part of the expenses, I won't be going. The doors I need is for the VV XVI right after the L door model, circa 1912. That's what I am looking for. Do you know how to operate an Edison repeater? lat week I got one, but I don't know how to operate it. I don't want to force anything on it. Any copies of literature or any info will be very helpful. Thanks for writing.

If George does not have some doors, I can check. Are you looking for the two L Doors or the horn doors? Don't you travel with another collector? If I am remembering correctly, he wanted a machine I had and needs to contact me before the show.

I got a call from an antique store to come over to check out an Edison phonograph. It turned out to be a Model B Triumph with a repeating attachment.No reproducers came with it, but a 4 min. recorder with the green stain on it. It came with the original chip brush, and an old bottle of graphite. The lid even came with the wooden arches that was used for packing. I was very lucky to get this machine so cheap.
