Re: [Phono-L] Reproducer Artwork
It's worth $20 but I'll give you $25 :-) Pics are available at this link: http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Pathephone/ Does anyone else on the board have a Pathephone?

I received a Pathephone 40 yesterday through the kindness of a Phono-L member who responded to my search for one. The reproducer label was aged and blackened, and since it is paper you can't clean it without risking loss of the image. I found a decent picture of a reproducer online, and..well, the story is written on the before and after image at this link: http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/Pathephone%20reproducer/ Thanks John Robles ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
[Phono-L] Orthophonic Tonearm ballbearing info
Hello All: I am working on an Orthophonic Victrola V V-4-40 and have cleaned out the old grease at the base of the tonearm as it attaches to the bracket bolted to the rear of the turntable deck. I find 5 small ball bearings there; one per divot in the cup on the bottom of the bracket. Am I nuts or is one of the ball bearings larger than the rest? If this is as it is supposed to be, what is the purpose of the larger ball and in which divot does it belong?

[Phono-L] Notes on the April-May edition of In The Groove
Folks, Michael Evans (our new graphic designer) attempted a design concept with a few images that normally work for flyers and brochures, but failed to be artistically communicated in our magazine. The most obvious use of this technique was on the Jerry Fabris' article. Artists like to use free space and openness. We antique lovers prefer the security of symmetry. Pages 42, 44, 45, 47 and 48 are filled with two huge images each. The upper most image appears to run off the top of the page as was intended by the graphic designer. Very little, if any, of the image is actually missing - the top of the page bleed completes the image border (you'll be able to see for yourself what I'm talking about when you get your copy). Unfortunately, the technique does not fit the topic. I'll be receiving a hundred E-Mails reporting this presumed mistake. Michael had to create this issue (his first ITG) from scratch which took him an enormous amount of time. The first .PDF proof I received from Michael was laid-out in signature format, so I could not detect where the bleed ended and had no idea of his artsy concept. He provided me the second proof in my preferred format, and only then did I discover what I assumed was an error. By then, we were so close to the send-it-to-the-printer date, and was told that he would have to shrink the images in order to maintain border symmetry, that I made the decision not to delay the issue an additional 3 days for delivery, and hoped the larger images would be beneficial to our readers after all. Well, now that I have the magazine in front of me, it looks like it was a printing mistake and not the intended artistic openness concept that Michael had hoped for. I have discussed this with Michael, and border symmetry will be followed in future issues. I just told you that I was concerned about getting this issue to the printer on time. WELL. We delivered this to Short Run on March 8th. The delivery date to Faris Mailing was scheduled for March 28th. On March 16th, the printer had massive equipment failure. Keep in mind, these folks own multi-million dollar State-Of-The-Art presses and binders. They finally delivered ITG to Faris Mailing last Friday, April 8th. It was mailed on Tuesday, April 12th. I received my copy on Thursday. Excluding all the challenges of production, this has been our most ambitious issue that I can recall. It is 52 pages in length and filled with fascinating works from some very impressive contributors. I highly recommend that you pick up a copy for yourself.

Re: [Phono-L] Reproducer Artwork
Hi- About 14 years ago a well-known record dealer visited my house and purchased many nice records. He also saw my newly acquired Pathe Rooster with a piece of the base broken (I had the piece) He offered $500 for it- I had paid substantially less just a couple weeks earlier and was pleased to make the sale, knowing he had much more appreciation for it then I did. I felt it was a fair price at the time and for the condition. I have no clue if they are worth more now-- but they are as rare as rooster's teeth. :) Brad -Original Message- From: Vinyl Visions vinyl.visi...@live.com To: phono-l phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Sat, Apr 16, 2011 10:01 pm Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Reproducer Artwork o you have a pic of your new Pathe? n the subject of Pathe - does anyone have any idea of what a Pathe advertising laster rooster might be worth?

Re: [Phono-L] Notes on the April-May edition of In The Groove
Hi Tim, My wife and I have always enjoyed IN THE GROOVE and the service it has provided for the hobby. Any new efforts will always have a few rocks in the road. We remind ourselves that these people are volunteering their time unselfishly for our enjoyment and see NO reason to complain if a little late or past margins. Our only complaint would be if it stopped being produced! Keep up the good work! -Scott Denise Corbett -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org] On Behalf Of Tim McCormick Sent: Saturday, April 16, 2011 8:02 PM To: 'Antique Phonograph List' Subject: [Phono-L] Notes on the April-May edition of In The Groove Folks, Michael Evans (our new graphic designer) attempted a design concept with a few images that normally work for flyers and brochures, but failed to be artistically communicated in our magazine.

Re: [Phono-L] Orthophonic Tonearm ballbearing info
As far as I know, they should all be the same. If one was bigger it is because it is a poor replacement.
