Re: [Phono-L] Little Wonder Phono problems

[Jim Nichol via Phono-L]

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.

Re: [Phono-L] Victor VE8-12X tonearm mounting bracket

[Jim Nichol via Phono-L]

No, Robert. Wooden wedges between the coils and the steel magnetic core do not 
cause any losses. They are transparent to magnetism. Also, the motor will be 
more efficient if the coil is NOT moving or vibrating. Movement wastes 
mechanical energy.

When I worked in the industrial world, a transformer with a loud hum was almost 
always caused by the wooden wedges falling out. There are supposed to be wedges 
between the steel core and the windings in a transformer to prevent movement 
and hum.

Re: [Phono-L] Edison E

[Jim Nichol via Phono-L]

The picture that Randy posted looks identical to the Model F pictured in the 
Frow book.  It says the E had a side mount carriage arm with large opening for 
a Model N reproducer, whereas the F had top mount carriage arm with a small 
opening for C, H, R, or S reproducers. It says the Model E had a straight 
paneled horn with a front mount crane, whereas the Model F had a cygnet horn 
with a back mount crane bracket.

Also, the Standard Models D, E, and F all had both 2 and 4 minute gearing. 
HOWEVER, on the Model E, the mechanism was blocked to keep it in 4-minute mode 
all the time. If Randy found it was stuck in 4-minute mode, this would support 
the E nameplate.  Otherwise, everything else points to a Model F. Of course, 
you never know what really happened at the Edison factory.

Re: [Phono-L] Donley Phono Auction - Sat. March 18

[Jim Nichol via Phono-L]

Just to clarify: There is NO RESERVE on any of my items in the Donley auction. 
Randy Donley called me to say that someone thought I might have placed a 
Reserve, but I did NOT.

Also, I've heard that some people were concerned that the Idelia Spruce horn is 
not original. It is original. And it is correct for the rare Edison Spruce 
horns to have a blonde finish inside, and a dark finish outside. Randy and 
another collector agree with me that this is an original horn.

Re: [Phono-L] Last Edison factory gets a reprieve

[Jim Nichol via Phono-L]

Charles Edison ran it until 1957. Then he sold it to McGraw Electric, and the 
merger was called McGraw Edison. As I recall, McGraw was a big admirer of 
Edison and it was him who made the offer to buy. Of course, Charles was doing 
other things while he was running his father’s company, such as Secretary of 
the Navy, Governor of New Jersey, etc.

Re: [Phono-L] phonophan

[Jim Nichol via Phono-L]

On YouTube there are 3 guys that have their own channels:  phonophan, Phono 
Phan, and Phonophan58.  So I guess it’s not that unique an idea for a nickname.
