Re: [Phono-L] My phonograph room
What a wonderful display. You are inspiring me to go upstairs and neaten my up a bit, and dust and vacuum as well ! I also converted my son's former room, into my phonograph room.

Re: [Phono-L] My phonograph room
John, Does that A200 have the volume damper at the rear of the reproducer. Mine DID but over the years got replaced with a conventional. Now I have no volume control.

No, mine has the muffler ball. Funny thing is that it is black, not green. The earliest ones were green, like the one on my A-250. This has the early mute control bar, not the later slide.

Re: [Phono-L] My phonograph room
So I'm wondering what to install. I have a slider, post arm and black ball from another model. Or in the name of originality, keep looking for a damper top for the repo. It could be modified to not close tightly. In a message dated 9/5/2011 4:08:34 P.M. Central Daylight Time, john9...@pacbell.net writes: No, mine has the muffler ball.

Re: [Phono-L] My phonograph room
Thanks Dave. Scott Corbett had that sign made for me and there is a story behind the sign. I was selling at the CAPS show several years ago, and this guy (Gary Dial) wandered by my table. He was perusing my stuff, and he picked up my card. He did a double take, and said Your name is Robles? I said yes..he said Oh I have something at my table you need to see! He hurried me over to his table and there was the sign. I gasped when I saw it, especially because I knew of no Robles House of Music in Ventura back in the day. I said I have to have that, how much is it? He said he'd left me have it for $75. I paid him and made the rounds with it showing all my friends, who showed proper astonishment. A little later I got back to my table and had it displayed behind me. Pretty soon I noticed several of my friends gathered around the table grinning..and it sank in! I had been pranked!! Gary came up and gave me my money back, saying he had to charge me what he thought would be a realistic amount, that he couldn't charge me only $20 or so because he thought that would make me suspicious. It was a great joke and I treasure that sign and the great friendships with all the people that were in on it.
