Re: [Phono-L] The Death of Amberola III SN304
I sent this off to the seller and got the same answer as you, Peter: Dear peachland250, A friendly note, the machine you are breaking up is one of only 1,200 Amberola III machines made. The few remaining examples have historically been worth more than the parts since collectors value the machine as a whole and yours has the serial number on the cabinet too. Few collectors will need parts other than the motor and the reproducer. The last time an Amberola III sold at auction here in California, it went for $3,200 and it was not as clean as yours. I would be surprised if you get that much for the various components. My goal was to instill a good case of SELLER'S REMORSE... Since inducing guilt in the face of greed rarely works ! ! !

Re: [Phono-L] The Death of Amberola III SN304
There's still hope. So far, all the parts to Amberola III No.304 have been purchased by the same collector who is attempting to keep the machine together. This collector already has an Amberola III and his actions are solely for the preservation of this particular example. He told me that, if he can acquire all the parts and reassemble it, the machine may be available for another collector, or he might simply donate the machine to a museum or other institution that will preserve it. I'm happy to say that at least one other collector has expressed interest in buying No.304, so this risk he is running may turn out well for all involved. I would encourage supporting this effort buy abstaining from bidding on the remaining parts to No.304. With a little luck, this machine should be saved later on today. Feels like an animal rescue...!

I'm rather quiet on here but I deal with over 2,000 emails per day because of my job. I noticed Chuck's email addy and it is from an obscure server. With those obscure server addresses, many of the other servers will deem it to be junk email or it never goes through and remains in email heaven. I have a hit and miss ratio when I send to any comcast.net addresses. One of the reasons he is not responding could be as simple as he has not gotten it.

Hello Bill, I must agree with you, but I will still honor the offer I made below but after this I will no longer associate with Chuck Richards. I spent 5 hours editing the e-mail to him to make certain I did not offend him, he took this as me blowing him off. He send me an e-mail titled last chance which I took as a threat, but I had no idea he would give me less than 24 hours to respond to the insulting phone message he left for me where he stated that he had no idea how such poor work left my shop when the reproducer left in his hand. My offer still stands to Chuck: If you want an original hinge block send me the repro back along with the address where you want it sent and I will send an original in a padded mailer first class with delivery confirmation so I will know you have received it. I will send you the glass diaphragm at no charge along with the metal diaphragm at no charge and the early copper diaphragm at no charge. I will send you two reproduction eyelets al ong with these parts at no charge. I will send the glass diaphragm in a round tin wrapped in tissue to protect it.

I am an extremely quite person on this forum but eagerly enjoy reading the forum. I was lucky enough to have been given Steve's name to me many years ago and I have sent him many reproducers including Automatic, model B,C,K,H, O,R Diamond A,B,C,D and max Wurcker to name a few. The machines that he has bought back to life for me has been incredible. I once sent him a box of reproducers and parts and he repaired what he could. I live in New Zealand and have never had any doubts with Steve having in possession any of these reproducers. His work is just amazing! To be honest! I wouldn't have any doubt if Steve had access to my bank account! That is how much I trust him. There certainly isn't many people that I would give that trust to. Especially someone that I haven't even met and who lives on the opposite side of the world. There must be some simple answer. If you still have a problem I will supply you one myself!

I have to speak in Steve's defence as well. A nicer, and more honest human being you will never meet. We first met Steve when we purchased a C reproducer from him many years ago. He shipped the item to us in Canada and refused to accept payment until he knew were satisfied. We have been friends ever since. The work he has done on our reproducers has been excellent, and his detailed knowledge of our area of collecting is unparalleled. Steve will make sure you are satisfied and he will not hold a grudge for any mis-communication. I only wish we lived closer so we could see him and his lovely wife more often.

Just found a quote online, from someone we're getting to know better today, and which can also be applied to this unfortunate situation: This is indeed unfortunate. But everyone please remember that the people who do things such as this set up bad vibes for themselves in the universe. Sooner or later, those vibes catch up with them. People are ultimately and individually responsible for their deeds, and what ever they do in their lives sticks to them. -- Chuck Richards, from http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewtopic.php?f=2t=12347 So according to your own philosophy, the universe will soon be pointing certain tools right back at you. Hope they're not too sharp. -- Peter pjfra...@mac.com On Mar 24, 2013, at 6:49 PM, chuck richards chuc...@all2easy.net wrote: No slamming intended.
