[Phono-L] phono info needed

[Bob Maffit via Phono-L]

Listers:

 

I am looking for some information regarding a phono I ran across this
weekend.

 

For all practical purposes, it seemed like a Victor III with a Brass bell
horn aprx. 17 ½ in diameter X 28.

 

The oddity for my experience was the ID plate when it identified “type” it
stated it was: “viollon”. Not sure however the last letter looked like an N.

 

Any info and or references would be helpful.

 

Understanding condition, would it be similar to the value of a Vic IIi or is
this special!

He has been able to disassemble the reproducer for the most part. It looks

The needle bar seems "hung up" so we had hoped for instructions or diagrams

[Phono-L] parts to convert Columbia BF to BFt

[Bob Maffit via Phono-L]

Listers:

 

As follow-up to my previous post regarding the converting  of a Columbia BF
to a BFT, Does anyone on the list have any of the conversion parts ( tone
arm: back bracket: elbow): they are willing to part with?

The most critical at present would be the "tone arm", as I can add what I
need from that point. Either original or reproduction if anyone has
manufactured such.

 

Any guidance or referrals would be appreciated. George doesn't have any from
his inventory, as I use him frequently, he is  wonderful, and I already
asked him.

Thanks for the reply and I will store this resource away.

 

Do want repo lids though.

 

Later

Don't know about tops but a friend of mine makes perfect bottoms for the two
sizes of Blue Amberol boxes.

Phono folk:

 

Is anyone making available reproes of cylinder box lids for say Edison Gold
Molded 2 min. or Edison 4 min. boxes?

 

If so, I would appreciate the contact information.

 

Thanks in advance

Re: [Phono-L] Little Wonder Phono problems

Listers:

 

I had been wondering what had happened to the list and its members, as very 
little was happening.

 

Well, it looks like we are still around.

 

Recently, I had inquired about a phono part and did get a reply. When 
initiated, the list works.

Ron, I doubt you and Mike are the only people left on this list. But I’ve only 
run into problems like yours twice. One was a Busy Bee disc phono. I did find a 
problem with binding in the governor gearing, but I think a weak spring was the 
real problem. Also, my Edison Opera stopped working after traveling to Chicago. 
It was easily fixed when I found that governor shaft wouldn’t turn. I loosened 
a set screw and allowed a little play in the governor shaft, and all was well.

The old spring was 5/8 by .018.   I’ve just installed a 5/8 by .022  which 
seems to be about the same length, around 8 5eet I believe.  It’s a NOS Honest 
Quaker (I actually have two of these!).  It may be a bit better.  I think I’m 
going to try a counter weight on the “tone arm” to lighten the reproduce a bit. 
 That may let it play through an 8” record.   

 

Looks like you and I are the only ones on the oldcrank phonograph list.  NO one 
else commented.

Ron,

 

What is the width of the spring?

 

The Windsor listing gives the following for small toy motors (Genola, Baby 
Grand,Carryola Cub, Pei-o-phone, Artone, Featherweight etc) with pear shape 
holes as ½” x .022 x 8feet.

 

For old type toy motors the dimensions are 9/16” x .025 x 10 feet.

 

I have no specific listing for the Little Wonder.

 

Best wishes,

 

Mike Tucker

I’ve been sent a LW phono with a host of small problems.  This is a Vertical 
only machine that according to the lit. should use a sapphire ball.   The 
governor springs were wrong.  I’ve got two with Columbia weights that are 
pretty close.  Had to make a lower bearing for the governor.  It’s  tad sloppy 
but rotational speed seems fairly consistent until the record slows half way 
into the side.   I suspect the spring is the wrong size (too long and maybe too 
thick).  S,  what size should the spring be?  There is a dish shaped washer 
on the winding gear side of the spring. Should the upward curve of the dish 
be towards the spring or towards the winding gear?  Should the spring be 
exposed on its other end or was there another dish or flat disk there?
Anybody know?  And does anyone know the actual length, width, thickness of the 
gov. springs?

 

Thanks, 

 

Ron L

Gregg Cline make perfect decals, they are very thin and hard for most to
apply but they look perfect.  You need to find a person who makes models and
regularly applies decals if you get any.  

 

Ogden chrome for nickel plating.  John tells me they do excellent work a
reasonable prices.  

 

Vicsonia is one of the adapters you can play DD records on Victor
phonographs.  The stylus is sapphire which wears and I have never seen a
good one.  Either broken or worn.  Diamonds are expensive these days.  I
have an adapter so a diamond will fit for the Vicsonia, but I will not have
any diamonds unless I order more.  

 

Duo-Vox had diamond styli.  Made by Bush and Lane.

 

The third type I have seen did not have a name, the box it came in said
Victor, it was held on by a thumbscrew.

Listers:

 

I recently  painted a Edison Standard A bedplate and a couple of parts,
which were a "disaster!". I am looking for someone who does the decals or
paints the corners and or gold pin striping. Items after doing such.

 

Does someone have a referral for plating phono parts?

 

Any comments or contacts, is appreciated.

 

 

On another note:

 

I was discussing with a phono friend about an adapter I have which fits on a
Victor tone arm in place of the original, which plays diamond Discs. I have
the only one I have ran across. He may be interested in obtaining such. In
the event someone knows what I am referring too, or has one they are willing
to part with, please let me know

 

Thanks in advance.
