[Phono-L] Mike Vertucci has passed away
I just wanted to pass along for those of you who knew Mike Vertucci, that he passed away yesterday morning in his sleep. He had been in very ill health for the last year and a half since he fell and was paralyzed from the waist down. Mike was an avid collector with a childlike enthusiasm for the hobby. Although some had less than satisfying transactions with Mike over the years, I truly believe that his intentions were always good, if not always 100% accurate in his descriptions. Up until a month ago, Mike was still so excited about collecting. Even bedridden and with no money, he was making deals and trades in his head and looked to the future. Truly the hobby is what kept him going and helped to lift his spirits. R.I.P. Mike. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] Phono-L Digest, Vol 7, Issue 212
That was pretty much the end of the story. I ended up re-restoring the machine and it came out reasonably nice. The reason I shared that whole exchange was it simply had to be read to be believed. I was stunned at the lack of rational thinking, denial of responsibility, and borderline psychotic ramblings, not to mention the poor grasp of the most basic concepts of English grammar and sentence structure... Now I'm getting personal, so I'll stop. Let's just leave it at caveat emptor.

In fact, everything but the elbow, crank and the corner posts are just polished brass. The additional gold plating required will be very expensive. Secondly, there is a 9 crack on the crank hole side of the case which has obviously been there since before it was refinished. Also, the finish is very dark and muddy.

It is simply not the machine I thought I was buying based on your description and the answers to that you provided to my specific and detailed questions. So, yes, I would like to return it. Thank you. I will pay return shipping. I assume you will refund the full price of $5350? Thank you.JM: Let me say that If you read my Return policy there is a 15% restocking fee also there is noway anyone will return $ 100.00 Shipping handling:the description of this was as honest as one could be.you look at it as it was not restored or replated I look at it as it was.you are always allowed to disagree and I do refund policy because of this. thank you DH: As much as I would love for you make $750 on a misrepresented machine, I feel that the machine is in NO WAY what you described. SHOW CONDITION would generally imply that the case did not have a 9 CRACK in it and that the horn was not PUTTIED up with INFERIOR PATCHES. I was trying to be nice but the truth is you TOTALLY MISREPRESENTED THE CONDITION OF THE MACHINE to an extent that is tantamount to fraud.Also, you managed to leave your original invoice inside the machine which indicated you bought it for $4850... not the $100 less that you told me, which further establishes your willingness to not tell the truth.I will make a case with EBAY and pursue all outlets to make sure that this situation is remedied. I cannot believe that you are willing to sit here and deny what you explicitly stated in your description, which by the way was copied from the previous seller with a few convenient omissions.I really hate the fact that you are trying to double talk your way out of this. That upsets me even more than the fact that the machine is not nearly what you made it out to be.JM: I thought you bought it for $ 5,000.00 also there was no crack in the machine when I sent it to you. there was no tantamount to fraud.at allin my description if you read it does not state it was mint original and on a scale from 1-10 its an 11.it is however super condition regardless of the few bumps .that shows it is original not repro.you wanted a mint new condition Victor 6 that sells for $ 8500.00 for $ 5000 ,I told you the best I could what you would get for your money.I described it the way I saw it. people that buy my machines see that my description is right on the money I think you got a great machine for the money that you paid.DH: The crack is obviously an old one as it has been REFINISHED OVER, but there is no use arguing the point with you. I never expected a MINT machine. I expected the machine to be as you described... which it is NOT. I requested more pictures... which you did not send... so I took YOUR WORD on the SPECIFIC QUESTIONS

It's a model 60 and is similar to the model 100 but the cabinet is much simpler. But the significant difference is the tonearm which does not have the large C shaped weight at the front end. Mine has a number of differences that allow the wooden piece to be placed above the metal rails of the arm. Instead of the large C weight, mine has two chunks of heavy metal (presumably lead) mounted between the two metal rails of the arm. Like the model 100, this model 60 has the horn in the lid which leads to lots of fancy plumbing and joints inside the record compartment required to allow the lid to raise and lower while the soundbox remains stationary and mounted to the motorboard. The horn is always connected to the soundbox, so it can be played with the lid open or closed. A bit of a plumbers nightmare. But interesting. The sound of these machines could best be described as mellow. The wood arm is not really comparable to a conventional tonearm but is actually analogous to the stylus bar of a conventional acoustic reproducer as it couples the stylus tip to the diaphragm. The ENTIRE long piece of wood vibrates just as the stylus bar on a more conventional reproducer. The proper tonearm of the Vitaphone is actually comprised of the two metal rails that run along side of the wood bar. The idea was very bizarre. But the upshot of it is that the wooden arm functions as a lowpass filter. The sound produced is soft and unusually smooth in response with a diminished treble (the anti-scratch feature touted in the advertizements) - quite unusual for an acoustic phono. Although they play rather softly, I would not recommend using loud needles with these Vitaphones. The compliance of the wood arm is nearly nonexistent - all the compliance, such as it is, is produced by the flexing of the needle itself. To mount a loud needle would be akin to mounting it in a rock on a stick and expecting that setup not to tear the bejeezus out of your records. And, yes, it is capable of playing vertical modulation about as well as lateral. This is because the connection from the wood arm to the soundbox diaphragm is accomplished with a string that is oriented at approximately a 45 degree angle to the center of the diaphragm. This arrangement causes either vertical or lateral motion of the wood arm to be transmitted (rather poorly) to the diaphragm. So it's an interesting machine to own and demonstrate, but I don't recommend using it often
