Symphonola was sold by the Larkin Co. of Buffalo, NY. Larkin was a very 
interesting company -- with an office building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright 
(now demolished). They started out selling soap, then embraced premium schemes, 
and finally issued catalogs of cut-rate furniture and home accessories. In 
Western and Central NY plenty of Larkin firniture shows up, and there is a 
special kind of desk which in that vicinity is known as a Larkin desk.

Subject: [Phono-L] Perfektone in a Heywood-Wakefield cabinet


I have been looking at various internet sites for information on the
Heywood-Wakefield/Perfektone phonographs.  A number of the ones pictured
have motor boards that don't match the interior wood of the case.  It almost
looks like the motor boards have been replaced over the years.  Or, did
Heywood-Wakefield make the cabinets and Perfektone made the motor boards and
mechanisms and they didn't match originally?  I ask this because I just
bought a nice upright Perfektone in a Heywood-Wakefield cabinet at an
auction today and the same irregularity exists with this one.  Are there any
books or websites available on these machines?

 

Thanks in advance.  Ken Brekke  

 

P.S.  I am still looking for an all brass front mount Victor horn with the
threaded end.  If anyone has one for sale or trade, please contact me off
list.  Thanks.

Re: [Phono-L] CURIOUS MACHINE

2011-04-24 Thread phonophan
These German machines are very difficult to nail down. There was S much 
variety, and SOOO many variations. And so frequently unmarked. And so 
frequently adapted by subsequent generations. The odd wooden horn sounds 
plausibly correct. Replaced motor? Well, trying to locate the correct one could 
be impossible, based on the VAST variety of motors in use at the time. But what 
a cool looking cabinet! Why not post a picture for the group?

While on the subject of Euro talking machines, allow me to shameless plug a new 
book that is just about to be released. It is truly a long-awaited event in our 
hobby.


HISMASTER'S GRAMOPHONE

by Brian Oakley and ChristopherProudfoot

The HisMaster's Voice  Gramophones of Victor's Britishand 
European affiliates are commonly seen but have not been thoroughly
understood until now, with the release of this hardcoverbook, 12 x 9, 
276 pages, more than 450 primarily colorillustrations, truly a 
beautiful and substantial volume.Decades of tireless research by these 
leading experts in the field hasresulted in a book indispensable to any 
collector of antique talkingmachines. 




I am going to be carrying this book, and I urge all of you to consider it -- 
primarily because Brian and Christopher greatly deserve our support for this 
monumental effort they have made, at a huge personal financial outlay. Please 
visit my Web site at www.phonophan.com, and on the main page see info about 
ordering this important volume. Thanks for allowing me this bare-faced 
commercial interlude.

Curt, regarding the rarity of the song bird, it's difficult to precisely 
express. Kastenpucks are not frequently seen in the first place, but the song 
bird is one of the more common Kastenpucks. So, I guess you could say it's 
rare, but not rare for a Kastenpuck. How's that for hedging my bets?!

Re: [Phono-L] Puck Machines

2011-01-18 Thread phonophan


What Allen is referring to is that Gianni Bettini, famous for his high-class 
recordings and Micro-Phonograph attachments is credited with dreaming up the 
Puck. There's an article concerning this I'm sure he can direct interested 
readers to. 


The very first Pucks, with lyre base, employed wooden mandrels and a 
reproducer that was the virtual spit-and-image of the Columbia gutta percha 
floater from the 90s. The horn was one with a straight flare, very 90s looking. 
It is likely these very early machines were introduced prior to the turn of the 
20th century -- though we must remember that imitations of outdated American 
products persisted in Europe because they were considered good models from 
which to draw copies. Hence the presence of a copy of a gutta percha reproducer 
does not necessarily indicate a date in the 1897 period, when the.technology 
was current in the USA.

Re: [Phono-L] Puck Machines

2011-01-17 Thread phonophan
John is quite correct in his notes about Pucks. They were made in a number of 
factories in Germany, but I'm quite convinced they were also produced in 
France. French Pucks (such as the Lion-head Pucks) have silver-painted bases, 
something that distinguishes them. Except for Georges Carette (a German firm), 
the companies that made Pucks did not mark them in any way to identify the 
maker. Therefore, it's difficult to say exactly how many makers there were. The 
song bird casting that was mentioned came in at least two styles -- 
nickel-plated and vividly painted in bright colors. If that particular 
Kastenpuck follows the pattern of other Pucks, it might also have been sold 
with simple gold paint, or another solid color, on the base. It was common to 
offer Pucks in several grades, with nickel-plating being the most expensive, 
and predictably seldom seen.

Hi, all --- This was Lakeside's (Montgomery Ward's) version of the Rex. The Rex 
was actually a better-appointed machine, but let's call this one a Rex-LITE. 
It has the characteristics of a Rex with a less expensive, cheapened down

Hi, all --- Keen-O-Phone went out of business in early 1914 and whatever was 
left of the company was reorganized as the Rex Talking Machine Corporation -- 
Brunswick was not involved. Anyway-- the Keen-O-Phone soundbox was a rather 
specific item, it did not really resemble any other. Fortunately, one can 
sometimes find a Rex talking machine, and they usually don't sell for a whole 
lot, from which the soundbox may be adapted, because Rex soundboxes were 
virtually identical to Keen-O-Phone during Rex's early period. If you need more

Re: [Phono-L] Yankee Prince Phonograph

Hi, all --- The complete story of the Yankee Prince talking machine and its 
relation to other I'Neill-James products and the entire Chicago talking machine 
scene can be read about in (some would say excruciating) detail in a number of 
articles I wrote beginning in the early 1970s for publications like the APM 
(Antique Phonograph Monthly) and the Talking Machine Review International. Many 
older collectors have these publications in their libraries, but if you don't 
know anyone who might have them, the story will also be found in a few of the 
books George Paul and I wrote, primarily The Talking Machine, an Illustrated 
Compendium and Discovering Antique Phonographs. These books are commonly 
available from a variety of sources, including www.phonophan.com and eBay. 


It depends on how much you really want to know about O'Neill-James, because I 
got into it on the obsessive level -- I mean, right down to quoting from the 
amateur poetry of Arthur J. O'Neill. But if all you want it a one-paragraph 
precis of the story, e-mail me off-line and I'll send you the quick and slick 
version.

That is a really nice machine you have. A corner column is missing, but a good

and 
has a thumbscrew, rather than a clamp like the typical analyzing reproducer. 
When you rebuild the reproducer, it will be loud. I have an Aretino machine

I love those oddball Columbia machines. Congrats on your machine.

 The story of this new technology is awe-inspiring and amazing. I had no idea 
it had been employed in Ken's case, even though I was right there when his 
heart attack occurred, and witnessed the subsequent events. Of course, the 
cooling technology must be credited with the incredible results he 
experienced -- however I wish also to draw attention to the laudable efforts of 
Sylvie Agnard, a trained nurse, and her foster daughter Audrey, who were 
standing next to Ken when he collapsed and began immediately to administer CPR. 
I watched them valiantly working on Ken's fallen body until the paramedics 
could arrive. And I applaud their timely efforts in the face of a human 
emergency.

We are all thrilled about Ken's recovery, and wish him many more long years of

This is the correct reproducer for the Vic O and for the very early Victrola
IV with the metal grill. It should go for a good amount. It's a hard
reproducer to find and is very desierable.

It's mentioned in the Victor Data Book if I remember right.

 SORRY--- There I go recommending the wrong address!!! A Freudian Psychologist 
would have a field day with that! Acting out of suppressed hostility, no 
doubt..? TF

Re: [Phono-L] This one makes me a little nervous!

I think the main problem is the full sized picture of the machine is NOT 
the same machine as the close-ups. They fail to make this clear. The big 
picture shows a very clean machine, the close-ups are of a machine less nice. 
Cheers,
