Re: [Phono-L] Last Edison factory gets a reprieve
It was run successfully with Charles Edison as its president, until it merged with McGraw in 1957. (You've never seen a 'McGraw-Edison' appliance? I have a nice heater of theirs - cost me $2 at a yard sale 30 years ago, and it still cranks out the BTUs very nicely!) I am unaware of any "terminal decline" - maybe of the unused buildings after the merger, but not Thomas A.

It seems that they never really moved in any new direction other than terminal decline.. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://go.sparkpostmail.com/f/a/lglJt1UPO2W994G7eCHGew~~/AABF2wA~/RgRZ4YidP0EIASv_RqQbDXxXA3NwY1gEAFkGc2hhcmVkYQhzdGFuZGFyZGANNTQuMjQ0LjU0LjE0NEIKAAQdVQBY5zOxgFIYYXJjaGl2ZUBtYWlsLWFyY2hpdmUuY29tCVEEAEQSaHR0cDovL3Bob25vLWwub3JnRwJ7fQ~~ Unsubscribe: phono-l-unsubscr...@oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] odd-sized records
Kurt Nauck's record sleeves are the finest you will find, and worthy protectors of your best records. If I could afford to buy 10,000 of them, all of my records would be in Nauckvelopes. Barring a lottery win, I intend to get enough to cover my 'odd' size records. - Original Message - From: Glen Gurwit via Phono-L To: Antique Phonograph List Cc: Glen Gurwit Sent: Saturday, April 02, 2016 4:02 PM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] odd-sized records Richard, Like you, I have 78s of varying sizes which can present storage issues. It has been a while since 12-inch heavy-duty green sleeves were readily available from former suppliers like Cohoes and Bags Unlimited. Maybe there is a new source I haven't found yet. Meanwhile, I think the logical best place for you to start is Kurt Nauck's website which is www dot 78rpm dot com. His resource center offers a large variety of sleeve sizes. Prices are commensurate with the size and quantity you need. The sleeves are well-made, rigid, and may do the trick for you. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://go.sparkpostmail.com/f/a/bsVEr8NKjS-hM4P53fJi0w~~/AABF2wA~/RgRY4uf-P0EIAOt_0C4cHC8XWAQAQgoAA360AVenVYbVUhhhcmNoaXZlQG1haWwtYXJjaGl2ZS5jb20JUQQARBJodHRwOi8vcGhvbm8tbC5vcmdHAnt9 Unsubscribe: phono-l-unsubscr...@oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] Edison Triumph A 2/4 minute conversion kit?
My "A" was converted; I assume many were. dan Kj - Original Message - From: Richard Rubin via Phono-L To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Cc: Richard Rubin Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 6:29 PM Subject: [Phono-L] Edison Triumph A 2/4 minute conversion kit? I have heard tell here and there that Edison, and possible some other companies, produced 2/4 minute conversion kits for the Triumph model A phonograph, but I have never seen one, and I'm not sure I know anyone who has. Can anyone out there confirm the existence of such a beast? If so, have you ever seen one for sale, and what did it go for? ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org Unsubscribe: phono-l-unsubscr...@oldcrank.org
