[Phono-L] eBay

Some eBay sellers will go to extreme lengths to market their items at high prices - note the extravagant claim in item 350514099736 that this ( 109) is the earliest Fireside in existence. I have number 83 and 90 is also listed. No doubt there are at least several others below 109. Mike Tucker

[Phono-L] Dutreih cylinders

The Dutreih Intermediate cylinders are identical in size to the Pathe Intermediates. They have a slightly different box and start in the 150,000's. Hazarding a guess, I suspect they were manufactured by Pathe. I can supply photos if required. Mike Tucker mtuc...@exemail.com.au

[Phono-L] Half nuts

My thanks to Al for his kind words. The challenge now is to try to determine the cut-off point for the buttress thread. Rich, I have a Red Banner Long Case Home in fantastic condition which came with the original mandrel in the conversion box - obviously little used. It clearly has the 60

Having just made a batch of half nuts for Homes and Triumphs I respectfully submit that Home and Triumph leadscrews do not have a buttress thread, but are 60 degree V threads. Took a bit of research as there are contemporary reports that a buttress thread was used, but close inspection under

[Phono-L] Columbia AT

I am interested in obtaining the topworks, particular the slide assembly with button lever and also the shaver, for a first model Columbia AT - the one with the fancy cabinet. Condition not critical as long as restorable. Will take a complete machine if the price is right. Again, condition not

[Phono-L] Weber Repeater

One of my projects has been to complete a Weber repeater, and in the process decided to make a couple of complete sets, just because we could - sound weird, but when you are having fun!! The Weber repeater was introduced around 1903/4 and was short lived, being superseded by the Edison Model D
