I changed the subject line since this is how the conversation is drifting. And
here's the full story.
There are lots of folks on eBay now who put random shipping prices into their
listings because of the restrictions eBay automatically imposes. For example, I
always put $1 in there and
Yes, it sure doesn't sound like the seller is trying to keep his customers
satisfied. Too bad you missed out on a great looking phonograph. Actual
shipping should be around $20-25 for a light-weight phonograph like that,
and would probably be that much only because of the size of the box
I must say that I can't agree with the opinion on the ebay shipping calculator
- I find the shipping calculator to be quite faulty. I lost some money on a
couple of shipments by trusting it. Ever since then I use my postal scale and
USPS online, and the result is that the Priority Mail cost to
Hmmm. I've had no problems. I just sold something tonight - weighs 8 pounds
and goes in a 15 x 15 x 15 inch box. USPS site says Priority Mail from my
zip to this zip would be $42.75 or $39.10 if paid online. eBay calculator
said it would be $39.10 and put that in the invoice. Right on.

I don't know how this works with the new Ebay scheme but, especially with
larger items, we (and our friends) have asked the seller to take the item to

case. Is this so?
What modifications if any, is

second spring barrel in a model 30 and have the same result.

All you have to do is you have both mechanisms complete is the let the motor
wind down and move the 50 spring barrels over to the 30 and the 30 to the 50.
You will have to move the hook that holds the spring as the extra barrel is in
the way, see below for more info. If you drop the complete
The spring barrels come as a set so you have to swap the barrel(s) and the
winder. The single spring winder has 4 screws the double has 2 screws and most
boards are dilled universal. You still have to swap the hook that holds the
spring that goes from the horn to the motor board. The DD

The machine is great... but the music leaves a little to be desired. Try some
20's Jazz or Blues. Coon Sanders or Irving Aaronson and his Commanders would be
great or even some Helen Kane (Betty Boop) to liven things up. Check out
RedHotJazz.com for some ideas... Just a suggestion - everyone
