A friend just called me and asked if I knew of a way  to get paint flecks 
off a Blue Amberol cylinder, without damaging it.  

I was thinking a pin or needle using a magnifying glass to gently dig  the 
flecks out?  

Playing the cylinder the correct Diamond B  reproducer might dislodge some 
of the flecks, but might not be good for the  stylus.

I asked if the paint was oil based, and he said he did NOT  think it was 
and thought it was plain house paint. 

Any  ideas?

Re: [Phono-L] Newton's Law to prevent hacking

2012-06-04 Thread Steven Medved

Please read Newton's Law:
 
Steve
 
 Hello to all, The key thing I have noted lately is when a person's e-mail is 
 hacked there is (no subject) in the subject.   There are two main types of 
 hacking, the first someone discovers your e-mail password and send from you 
 e-mail, this is easy to fix with a new password. I have used roboform for 
 years and I have over 100 passwords, it really helps.   The second type they 
 just make it look like it came from your e-mail, but there is nothing in your 
 sent box. This is embarassing, no one will intentionally send something like 
 that on the list.  If your password is weak add characters and read what the 
 famous Mr. Newton has to say:
  Please read... this is important:
 
 There have been an increasing number of times over the past 6 months where
 spammers have signed up to email lists or managed to hack into mail list 
 email 
 accounts and thus making you a victim of this rapidly increasing spamming 
 method.
 
 Here's how and what happens and how to prevent you falling for this:
 ===
 
 A spammer hacks into your email account and uses it to send spam to your 
 entire
 address book making it look like YOU have sent the spam.
 
 It is usually selling phony Viagra, other drugs, promoting porn sites or a
 make money fast scam, ALL of which are skillfully designed to part you with
 your hard earned money.
 
 If you have a fairly sizable address list the spammer will break up the list
 and send a number of different messages to cover your entire address book
 without raising undue suspicion.
 
 You won't probably know anything about this until it is too late or until
 someone advises you about the phony messages sent under your name, apparently
 by you.
 
 HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS AND STOP IT:
 =
 
 Once you become aware of this, you need to immediately sign in to your 
 account,
 if you still can, and change to a secure password ASAP!  The spammers usually
 don't change your password because they don't want to raise your suspicions
 that anything is out of the ordinary.  They will keep coming back and send 
 more
 spam under your name until YOU stop them!
 
 See below for what is secure for a new password.
 
 I suggest you immediately advise everyone in your email address book.
 
 Look in your SENT mail... you will likely see everyone who got the messages.
 You will probably receive bounced returns as well.  If those returns were all
 out of your address book, you can bet the spammer sent to every one of them, a
 few at a time so as not to raise your ISP's suspicions with a pile of outgoing
 identical emails!
 
 You ask... how did they find your password?  My bet is they did a dictionary
 attack.  Was your password a small 6-8 character common word?  You are one of
 many who has had this problem in the past few months.
 
 I'd give your friends a heads up... remember the spammer now has ALL their
 addresses and you can bet they'll be doing dictionary attacks on them as well.
 If you don't change your password, they'll be back with more spam.
 Change it to something secure from a dictionary attack... use something like:-
 
 apple*sauce  other symbols are also good~^+=| 
 
 Two words separated by a symbol is secure (but don't use my example!).
 
 Oh yes... If you haven't had this happen to you, AND you still use a weak
 password on your email account, then it is only a matter of time before a
 spammer rolls you over!  They love email accounts because they usually lead to
 a pile of email address that they can use to send their drivel to.
 
 Go to your email account NOW WHILE YOU THINK ABOUT THIS
 
 CHANGE YOUR PASSWORD TO SOMETHING SECURE!
 
 I've written about this before recently, and people who ignored my warning 
 have 
 since been taken by the spammers... you can bet there will be more!
 
 ... Graham Newton

lock. So, for example: phonograph9087, becomes phonograph()*, which is more

 Curt,
  
 This happened to me a few years ago, it is embarassing even though it is not 
 your fault.  Nice examples you have, I hope people pay attention.  
  
 Graham Newton put together a nice piece which I send out, I did ask him 
 first.  I call it Newton's Law and these days I see more and more people get 
 hacked.
  
 Thanks,
  
 Steve

  Steve,I couldn't agree with you more... If I am using any common words in 
  my password, I also use a number while at the same time holding down the 
  caps lock. So, for example: phonograph9087, becomes phonograph()*, which 
  is more secure than a word and number. You can press CAP lock on any part 
  of your password - for example: PhoNoGrApH and it becomes more secure...Curt

   Please read Newton's Law:

   Steve

Hello to all, The key thing I have noted lately is when a person's 
e-mail is hacked there is (no subject) in the subject.   There are two 
main types of hacking, the first someone discovers your e-mail password 
and send from you e-mail, this is easy to fix with a new password. I 
have used roboform for years and I have over 100 passwords, it really 
helps.   The second type they just make it look like it came from your 
e-mail, but there is nothing in your sent box. This is embarassing, no 
one will intentionally send something like that on the list.  If your 
password is weak add characters and read what the famous Mr. Newton has 
to say:
 Please read... this is important:

There have been an increasing number of times over the past 6 months 
where
spammers have signed up to email lists or managed to hack into mail 
list email 
accounts and thus making you a victim of this rapidly increasing 
spamming method.

Here's how and what happens and how to prevent you falling for this:
===

A spammer hacks into your email account and uses it to send spam to 
your entire
address book making it look like YOU have sent the spam.

It is usually selling phony Viagra, other drugs, promoting porn sites 
or a
make money fast scam, ALL of which are skillfully designed to part 
you with
your hard earned money.

If you have a fairly sizable address list the spammer will break up the 
list
and send a number of different messages to cover your entire address 
book
without raising undue suspicion.

You won't probably know anything about this until it is too late or 
until
someone advises you about the phony messages sent under your name, 
apparently
by you.

HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS AND STOP IT:
=

Once you become aware of this, you need to immediately sign in to your 
account,
if you still can, and change to a secure password ASAP!  The spammers 
usually
don't change your password because they don't want to raise your 
suspicions
that anything is out of the ordinary.  They will keep coming back and 
send more
spam under your name until YOU stop them!

See below for what is secure for a new password.

I suggest you immediately advise everyone in your email address book.

Look in your SENT mail... you will likely see everyone who got the 
messages.
You will probably receive bounced returns as well.  If those returns 
were all
out of your address book, you can bet the spammer sent to every one of 
them, a
few at a time so as not to raise your ISP's suspicions with a pile of 
outgoing
identical emails!

You ask... how did they find your password?  My bet is they did a 
dictionary
attack.  Was your password a small 6-8 character common word?  You are 
one of
many who has had this problem in the past few months.

I'd give your friends a heads up... remember the spammer now has ALL 
their
addresses and you can bet they'll be doing dictionary attacks on them 
as well.
If you don't change your password, they'll be back with more spam.
Change it to something secure from a dictionary

Paint on cylinder record. Remember that the stylis is made of a hard material! 
If you run the cylinder through, the stylis is considerably harder than any 
paint ever made.There shouldn't be any possibility that the paint would damage 
the stylis.
  I would run it and then clean it with a tooth brusn and a small amount of 
isopropayl alcohl to remove any loose particles.The isopropyl alcohal will also 
clean the record.If used sparingly, It makes a great cleaner,and will remove 
oil and grease etc..

 [Phono-L] Paint flecks on a Blue Amberol

 A friend just called me and asked if I knew of a way to get paint flecks 
 off a Blue Amberol cylinder, without damaging it. 
 
 I was thinking a pin or needle using a magnifying glass to gently dig the 
 flecks out? 
 
 Playing the cylinder the correct Diamond B reproducer might dislodge some 
 of the flecks, but might not be good for the stylus.
 
 I asked if the paint was oil based, and he said he did NOT think it was 
 and thought it was plain house paint. 
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 Dennis

 Hi gang,
 I really don't know what to say of this. I had no idea that this happened. 
 I'm doing a virus check and hope everything will be OK.

2012-06-04 Thread beampowered-tetrode

I have a VTLA and another collector in Madison WI has a few interesting large 
early electric phonographs in good original condition for sale. We plan to 
bring them to the Union IL show this week Friday. Let me know if you are 
interested, or want photos or additional details.

fancy veneer pattern under lid. Bullet brake, early thumbscrew tone arm mount. 
Motor runs fine, tonearm and reproducer plating good. Mahogany cabinet with 
original finish needs polishing and some
 veneer repair on fancy work under the lid, metal feet are rusty. Has drawer 
and lid, but only 2 albums. $550 delivered to Union.
Edison C4 radio phonograph: Edison's last phonograph, impressive floor cabinet 
with doors and lid,heavy duty electronics and speaker. Original finish
 needs minor touchup on carvings. Electronics are clean, no rust, in good 
complete condition except pickup head has been partly disassembled and needle 
assembly missing. I may have a similar pickup with the needed parts. Untested 
electronics. $350.
Majestic radio-phonograph: circa 1930 in impressive highboy cabinet with doors, 
original finish, electronics complete but untested. $150
Delco radio-phonograph: circa 1930, in unusual smaller highboy cabinet with 
Queen Anne legs. excellent original finish, electronics complete but untested

microphone missing, $75.  This one may not make it down to Union unless 
requested. 
I will have access to this email for photos thru noon Thursday.
