Re: [Phono-L] The Death of Amberola III SN304

Was this the one in Spain, for a minimum of $650 + $250 shipping? That's the closest thing I could find, in "Completed Items". I think I have almost the same model - from England, old-style oak cabinet, tone-arm with angled "reflex" bends, and the funny "bifurcated" horn. Mine needs its repro

Add me to the list. I just had this happen to me recently on th'Bay with a guy trying to auction off an oddball Columbia made in the UK that was one of the in-between hybrids they made of a Viva-Tonal and the older Grafonolas. The seller was asking a little too high for the piece so I asked him i

Re: [Phono-L] IS IT DOWN?

OK, was it something I said? There has been only 1 posting since last Friday to my email address from Phono-L. My own posting has not shown up either. Have I been excommunicated? Is it because I only own a Victor II and a VTLA with the rest being just Edison machines? Oops, I forgot I have
