[Phono-L] Walnut 16

2006-12-24 Thread Vince Capobianco
Anyone notice this auction?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=2224781762

Seems awfully high for this piece.  Plus the machine looks like someone put
some kind of horrible clear coat on it.

Any thoughts?

I have a problem with these 'private auctions'  I think EBAY is asking for
people to shill.

 Wow - $8000 for a CW XVI?  And it hasn't hit reserve with 17 bids?
Looks
 like shill city to me.  You're right - the clearcoat certainly isn't
original!

 Hello Vince,

 Yes, a Victor Concert would be correct. The are quire expensive and I have
seen them go for $ 500 or so. Maybe also a Victor Exhibition with long
throat would work or you can get a good copy of the Concert from Jerry
Madson while you wait for the original.

 Good luck and Best regards

[Phono-L] Wooden Plugs

The holes are where the screws are to hold the back board.  I see the plugs

I believe the holes are there due to the way the cabinet was anchored

 Straight out of the L-Door XVI instruction manual:

 Place the two wood buttons found in the outfit package in the screw
 holes at the back of the cabinet.

[Phono-L] Victor #30 smooth horn for sale

2006-12-24 Thread Vince Capobianco
Hello All,

Thought I would throw this out to the group.  I have an original Victor #30 
smooth horn for sale.  It does have a few marks near the Victor label shown 
in the pictures and one small warp in the ring also shown.  Otherwise it is 
in stunning condition.

I personally think it would be hard to find one this nice.

If interested please email me off list.

 Just another thought. If you can not get the correct OD, we can make one
 slightly smaller but cutting and soldering back together.

 We all have at least one or two pet projects in this hobby that drive
 you crazy.  I have a beautiful, perfectly restored Columbia BD which is
 missing the nickel turntable trim ring.  I have been unsuccessful in
 finding a replacement - original or reproduction.  I was given the
 excellent idea of finding a clock bezel that, with tabs added, would
 serve as a reproduction trim ring.  I have someone who can add the tabs
 and I assume I can find someone to nickel plate the stock brass bezel
 and tabs.
 
 
 
 Where I need help:  What are the exact measurements of a BD trim ring?
 I need both the outside and inside opening dimensions as well as the
 overall height.  I am guessing that the original was about 13.25
 outside diameter, 12.5 inside opening and 0.75 in approximate height,
 but I am not sure  don't want to contact every clock parts supplier in
 the US until I know the exact measurements.  I suppose if there was
 enough interest, I could have several of these made - assuming I can
 find an appropriate bezel.  Thanks everyone for your help.

[Phono-L] victor 8-35 x

2006-12-24 Thread Vince Capobianco
A friend of mine who has a Victrola store in PA recently sold one for around
$600.  That was a crank machine in very nice shape.  I would think the value
would be more on that line.

The original books were not there.  Do not think it had a brass reproducer
either.

Although it was a low produced machine, I am not sure it is a really
desirable one for marketing it to sell.

Just my opinion.

  This is not a common machine, it was the last deluxeorthophonic to be
  offered in the Victor Catalog. According to LFTD, this was Victors
attempt
  to redesign its Flagship Model credenza, and it never really achieved
any
  where near the sales of the more successful 8-30 model. I am assuming
the
 x
  designation means that it is equiped with an electric turntable.
According
  to LFTD, only 5,104 Electric Turntable versions of this model were
 produced.
  and 4,925 crank versions. I hesitate to estimate what one of these might
 be
  worth even with the defects you mention, I would assume that it would
  command a pretty good price, maybe $800-1200 due to the scarceness of
this
  model. I am sure other more informed folks will chime in on this one,
and
 I
  may be even very low on my estimate.

some
  info would help.
 
  What I am considering is a Victor 8-35 x in mahogany in good condition.
I
  presume it works and has little if any veneer problems.  Some of the
 veneer
  is loose at the back of the top,, however I think it is all remaining,
 just
  loose.
 
  What might I consider as reasonable boundaries for this machine.
 
  Your help is appreciated.

[Phono-L] Person trying to cheat me with triumph offer

2006-12-24 Thread Vince Capobianco
I get at least 2 of these offers a week from people stating they have the
same phonograph that I bid on and they can sell it to me cheaper.  Always
overseas.  I email them back telling them to ship me the item and then I
would pay upon delivery.  Of course I never hear back from them.

Most of these EBAY scams are extremely transparent.  I am not sure who would
fall for them.
