 Hi Art,

 He is probably a very nice guy and your translation sounds much better, I 
 was just thinking that Devilsdung described the way the phono he bid on 
 appears, at least to me he described the phono.

 Actually, his bid seems to have lets some credibility to the phono.

 Steve

Devil's Dung is also a nickname for Asefoetida- an extremely  powerful 
smelling (stinking?) medicinal gum used as a stomach remedy and an 
ingredient in eastern cooking. It tastes much better than it smells.

[Phono-L] polishing stuff, was Weekend Flea Market Find

[Eric Stott]

I'm no expert, but the problem with nickel plate is that often it tends to
lose it's luster over time, and no amount of polishing can restore it- I can
make the surface smooth and glossy, but it's a greyish gloss.

[Phono-L] Interesting copper horn

[Eric Stott]

This was also discussed on the other phonograph list. It's the horn from an 
early Magnavox public address system (not a radio horn, although they're 
very similar) which has had the paint stripped from the bell.  It's 
considerably heavier than an Edison horn.

 This is a horn I have not seen before!  Sure looks like a repro.   Anyone
 ever see one of these before? Ebay # 6515996616

[Phono-L] E-bay listing for the AUXETOPHONE

[Eric Stott]

Is the Auxetophone still in the ballroom of the Ringling mansion in Sarasota 
Fla?  It had a painted case to match to match the room. I saw it years ago 
and it was rather worn from tourist handling, and bits were missing.

 There are only 16 Auxetophones confirmed to exist world-wide, two of which
 are permanently locked away in museums. It's amazing that three should 
 change
 hands in less than a year, but I suspect that after those sales it is very
 unlikely that another will come on the market in the next decade. All the
 machines I know of are owned by collectors who have no current interest in 
 selling.

[Phono-L] Racial Inferences (was Coin-op'd Edison . . .)

Well, I do apologize, but I do wonder that you've never heard them- those
references are neither local nor current.

 Eric,

 I am sorry, but I can not let your Dutch references go without
 responding.

 I don't think that your Dutch = inferior comments were
 pertainent or in good taste. I have not heard the
 examples you quote in my little corner of the English-speaking
 world, so it does give one hope that the phrases you quote are
 more local than you realize.

 In any event, I do hope that we can have meaningful discourse
 without racial characterizations such as you provided in your
 posting. They do sound a little like fingernails on a blackboard to
 some of us.

 Respectfully,
 Don Mayer

[Phono-L] Phono buying in 1975...

[Eric Stott]

Believe it or not, those were not low prices for the time. It was still not
uncommon for great finds to turn up at auctions or come out of farm houses.
Nowadays most everything is picked over and Ebay has made most everyone a
dealer eager to make a fortune. Even when something new comes to the market
the owner has been told Oh this one is very unique and rare a thousand
times.

[Phono-L] Phono buying in 1975...

[Eric Stott]

 
  What gets me is seeing a piece set in an antique shop for YEARS,
 never getting marked down, never moving. Makes you wonder what school of
 business they didn't graduate from.

 Loran

In Europe there was a charming term for items in a shop that just wouldn't
move. Shop Daughters - the daughter you just can't marry off.

[Phono-L] ANTIQUE EDISON BROWN WAX CYLINDER RECORD made 1896

[Eric Stott]

Well, the Anvil Chorus is from IL TROVATORE, so that part matches up

From: Phil O'Keefe pokeefe...@netzero.com
 I consulted the Edison cylinder record database and I think it lists No.
504
 as:  TROVATORE (Giuseppe Verdi / Salvatore Cammarano), Recorded in 1902 by
 an unspecified orchestra.  No. 514 was the Clipper March, recorded in
 1897/98 by an unspecified orchestra.  There is no listing for the title
 Anvil Chorus.  If I am reading this correctly, then this cylinder may be
a
 fraud.
