[Phono-L] Phono-L

2006-12-24 Thread Loran T.Hughes
No need to do a thing... everyone was transferred over in one fell 
swoop. It's just been quiet for a couple of days.

Speaking of quiet, would anyone like to volunteer a report from the 
CAPS show?

 Hi Loran,

 Thanks for all the hard work hosting the Phono-L list, I know it must 
 be a
 thankless job at times!

 I really appreciate what you do.

 Are there any steps needed on my part to re-subscribe to the new 
 domain? I
 have not received a posting since 8/20.

 Kind Regards,
 Mark

You'll be happy to know that I upgraded the chat software last night  
after the chat ended. All you need to do is make sure you have Java  
installed (free from www.sun.com) and turned on. Happy chatting!

Loran

 Loran,
 I am obviously a bit paranoid about spyware.  I am running Ad-aware,

 Could any of these apps be working against me for successful chat??
 Tom

Holy cow, Tom! It's much easier just to buy a Mac ;) Seriously, the 
chat is simply a java application; your spyware and antivirus software 
shouldn't have any effect on it.

Be aware that Microsoft no longer supplies a Java runtime with Windows 
XP. You have to download and install yourself. First, check your 
Control Panel - Add/Remove Programs and check to see if you have Java 
installed. If not, go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html and 
click on the first download link in the JRE column.

[Phono-L] Columbia AH question

2006-12-24 Thread Loran T.Hughes
Do not grease/oil a fiber gear. You may be able to adjust the gears a 
bit to contact in a different area, which may reduce the noise. 
Otherwise, new nylon replacements are available.

 I am going to take a cue from our politicians, (all of them), and  
 expound on
 a topic of which my knowledge is very limited. I am an Edison man.
 Therefore, I have no direct knowledge of fiber gears. However, I once 
 read  an article
 about them which stuck in my memory. The article said that fiber  
 gears can
 wear out metal gears, because the fiber gears produce  abrasive 
 particles as
 they wear. If you grease this pressed fiber gear,  those particles and 
 the grease
 will form an abrasive goo, which  will accelerate the wearing of the 
 metal
 gear. I would think that greasing a  pressed fiber gear would 
 accelerate that
 gear's deterioration  also.

 Now the real experts can answer your question properly.

I went back into my ITG archive and looked. Those were the Victor V 
barrel key and Edison E  Dolphin barrel keys, not the Amberola style 
keys.

Speaking of the Amberola key, I now have the exact dimensions from the 
key shown on my site. As soon as I get a few spare minutes, I'll see if 
I can whip one up.

[Phono-L] 10-50 Auto Changer Parts

2006-12-24 Thread Loran T.Hughes
As a followup to my search for 10-50 changer parts, I contacted Charlie 
Weatherbee a couple of weeks ago. The bad news is that he doesn't seem 
to be planning on making any more of these sets - in fact, he had sent 
out his last complete set two days before I emailed him. The good news 
is that he graciously completed a set for me anyway. I got the parts 
yesterday and they are just the ticket.

Thanks to the list, I've got what I need to get this monster 
functioning again!
