Re: [Phono-L] Crane for Edison Triumph?
Hi, Ron. I should have specified, I'd prefer an original, but would certainly consider a repro. If it's original, I'd prefer it not be rusty. --rrrichard_ru...@hotmail.com Sent from my Verizon Wireless 4G LTE smartphone Original message From: Ron L'Herault via Phono-L Date: 11/06/2015 10:10 PM (GMT-05:00) To: 'Antique Phonograph List' Cc: Ron L'Herault Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Crane for Edison Triumph? One thing you didn't address. Do you want original only or repro? And if it is original how nice does it have to be. George Vollema at Great Lakes Antique Phonographs is one source for either type.

Greetings, everyone. I recently purchased a nice old Edison Triumph A that came with two original horns: An 12" brass witch's hat, and a 31" brass witch's hat. I focus on disc machines and haven't owned many cylinder machines, and have never owned one for which I needed a crane, but I think I'd like to use the large horn with this one, which means I'll need to find a crane somewhere. I'm not even sure what type to look for -- I don't think this horn is large enough to warrant a floor-standing crane, but beyond that I'm clueless. I'm not sure this horn was ever used with this machine, as the case doesn't have any brackets affixed to it. Can anyone out there tell me a) what type of crane would work best; b) where (besides ebay) I might find one; and c) how much I should expect to pay for one? Of course, if any of you have one to sell, that would be great! Speaking of selling, if any of you have some cylinders you wish to sell -- any make, 2 or 4 minute (no Concert or Twentieth Century), cases or no cases -- please let me know. The more, the better!

[Phono-L] Take numbers on electric Columbias
I'm a little embarrassed that I don't know this, but not too embarrassed to ask. In looking at the records that were included in the set of four Bubble Books that were recorded electrically, I'm seeing the matrix number in the wax along with a set of numbers, of the form "number dash number," like "4-2" or "3-1." This undoubtedly is telling me the take number, but I don't know how to read it. Would someone let me know to decipher the code, please? Thanks ever so much, Merle
