[Phono-L] Amberola V

2011-03-30 Thread Mark Dawson
Wishing, and hoping ,one day to care for a nice example of a Amberola V. To me they are classy. So I put it out to the universe. Someone may be downsizing their collection? Dont mind paying a premium price for a choice piece. By the way, a friend of mine lost perhaps 50% of his collection,

Mark, Tell us more about your friend's loss of his collection that we may learn from his experiences. Did he loose records and/or machines? How had they been stored? Insurance etc. Thanks, Ron L -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org

Wow, oddball is right. It responds to lateral grooves, right? Does it rotate to move the needle bar to the front for vertical reproduction? With those washers on it you have to wonder if there is a missing piece of rubber that was between arm flange and reproducer too. Ron L -Original

Not that odd..it's a 1920s British machine which comes up over there now and then. It should be in the Proudfoot book. - Original Message - From: Vinyl Visions vinyl.visi...@live.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Wednesday, March 30, 2011 12:17 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Pics of

I never thought of it, but it has an X marked on the reproducer... maybe an alignment mark? It appears that the needle bar could be positioned in front by removing the screws, rotating and reattaching. From: lhera...@bu.edu To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Date: Wed, 30 Mar 2011 13:56:46 -0400

The close shot of the needle-chuck sure looks as if the pivots are solid wings attached at both ends. If so, it's a wonder if it makes any noise at all, and I suspect it is particularly brutal on records. - Original Message - From: Ron L'Herault lhera...@bu.edu To: 'Antique

So do you already own this Zonophone, or is it one that you are thinking you might be buying ? There are online sites that explain the History of Zononophone and its founder, Frank Seaman. Victor acquired the Zonophone name around 1903, and continued to market records and also Gramophones under

This is a late model Zonophone Home. These were made after Victor bought the company in 1904. This is similar to the late Oxford phonographs that were sold by Montgomery Wards, etc through catalogs. Often times they are found without decals at all. The horn was most likely at one time painted.

I just got word of a Brunswick, Series 200 Patented in 1908 art case upright. It is black with Oriental scenes on all 4 sides (yes, even the back). It also has scenes om the top of the lid and all four sides of the coffin like lid. The scenes looked appliqued to me rather than hand painted. But,
