Re: [Phono-L] Diamond Disc coming to CA?
Kurt, Not that I need another Edison but I do like the style of this model. How much are you asking for the Edison? I remember that my C150 cost me over $140.00 to ship from MA so shipping fees will be higher on this model because of the distance. Will you be listing this on ebay? I received the sleeves yesterday. Thank you I really needed them, I am bothered by one thing, several of the sleeves look new. Do I owe you a little more for the new sleeves?

Re: [Phono-L] Jesse Crawford Records
Jerry, Hello, this is Bill I am a disabled vet (mostly bedridden) I am not able to go out and look for records I am interested in acquiring records from 1890's - 1936. I will of course pay for mailing (media mail is not that high) and for the packing materials. Let me know if you have any records. I am also interested in the phonograph that you have (the table top model). My number is 239 369-8430 Thank you Bill --- On Sun, 4/11/10, DeeDee Blais deedeebl...@yahoo.com wrote: From: DeeDee Blais deedeebl...@yahoo.com Subject: [Phono-L] Jesse Crawford Records To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Date: Sunday, April 11, 2010, 11:11 AM Does anyone have interest in a stack of Jesse Crawford (played at the Wurlitzer Organ) records?

Re: [Phono-L] O/T: Capehart 414N-1
After reading the messages below I had to see what this looked like. I must admit that I have never seen this model before. Once I opened the item number I was in love!! Anybody that would do harm to this unit is crazy. It is a shame that people would do this to such piece, but we have all seen it happened. It would be a shame to loose such a piece for some body with more money than brains. I hope who ever buys this does not rip it apart. I have been very unlucky with bidding on electric phonographs in the past I now have 4 different phonographs that all were supposed to be in working order but once I opened the boxes I found out that I had been taken. There are too many people on ebay that will rip you off and they know that it cost too much to return the items so they can say what ever they want. I would love to have a working phonograph from the 1940's but I only have ebay as a way to look for this stuff and after 4 times of being ripped off I won't do it again. In case you are wondering why I only use ebay, it is because I am a disabled vet and I am mostly confined to a bed and a wheel chair. I am not able to get out much to even hunt down leads or go to estate sales. I do have two table top Victor and one Edison Floor model, but I would one day love to find a wooden table top phonograph with radio. It is possible that one of the four units I have purchased may be able to be repair but I am not able to do that type of work because of the injuries. Does anybody live in Lehigh Acres Florida that works on these? Thanks and lets hope that the Cape Hart finds the nice home that it deserves.

I'll possibly bid on this thing, but I'll most certainly get sniped out to outer space, and lose it. There are just too many points of profit here for the hogs that look for them. Lately, I have bid on a couple og things that might be nice, but was sniped far beyond the bidding level. I've found that Craigslist is far and beyond the abominable eBay. My Capehart is similar, but different cabinet, P-P 6L6, and 78 only changer. I'm trying to get a DVD for you, but this stupid computer won't copy it. I have a Capehart 2A3 amp laying among my shrunken skulls. [Original Message] From: Greg Bogantz gbogan...@charter.net To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Date: 3/23/2010 5:46:56 PM Subject: [Phono-L] O/T: Capehart 414N-1 I realize that electronic phonos are a bit off-topic for this forum, but for those of you who can really appreciate a fine Capehart, here's a rare find: A 414N-1 with the VERY hard to find 41E-2 flipover changer: eBay Item #150426006960 This is the last version of the 41E changer that has the interchangeable tonearms and plays both 78 and 33rpm microgroove records, circa 1949. I'm posting this here to try to rescue this unit from the grimy clutches of the Western Weenies who are going to buy this console ONLY to rip out the Western Electric speaker from it so that they can mount it under glass and drool over it. Note that there is already a bidder question posted about wanting to see the speaker. Then they'll sell off the N-1 power amp with the 2A3 output triodes to some golden ear tube yahoos. Then they'll simply junk the rest of the console or turn it into a liquor cabinet. That would be a particular shame since this is appears to be a really nice and complete original example of a fine, RARE Capehart. Trust me: the 41E-2 machines are RARE! Let's see one of our Phono-L members give this complete unit the home it deserves. This model is particularly easy to enjoy while you're not playing records as it has t he modern FM radio band which means you can actually listen to good radio programs on it. In glorious monophonic sound, of course. I don't have a problem with collectors mounting things under glass to admire, but to destroy a perfectly good, working piece of fine equipment just to preserve one part of it really grinds my gears. I'd bid on it, but I don't have room for it.

Re: [Phono-L] Oxford Jr. Crapophone
Mike I forgot to mentioned that I emailed the seller of this item and informed that the player was a fake. I also told him that the first thing that I noticed was all the phillip head screws that were used. That is a dead give away on anything that was supposed to be made during that time.

There is no real guarantee that you will ever receive the item and when you do and it turns out to be fake you have nobody to blame but yourself. Money is not that easy to come by for me, I have not worked in the past two years but even when I was working I would have never spent over $50.00 on something on ebay. I guess it all goes back to the old and very truthful saying Let the buyer beware. I have been lucky, I have only been ripped off a couple of times on ebay and those times they were less than 30 dollars each so I feel very good about that.
