Melissa,
A little tip learned years ago. Shape a piece of cork or whatever medium
you choose to fit into the the tone arms U-tube. You want it to have a 45
degree cut. Put in front of the U-tube screw so as sound leaves the
reproducer it hits the 45 degree angle and travels directly to the horn,.
Fake it with a clock bezel. I have found the longer I'm in this hobby the
less I'm incline to do much to these old machines. Maybe a drop of oil and
clean out the wasp nest. Perhaps I'm lazy. I can see if its a resale some
plating may be in order. Sorry this happened to you Zono.

The problem with bidding early is as vinyl states. Also the bidder has a
feeling of ownership. That is to say if someone bids they are taking your
item away and you will attack with a new and higher bid. I use attack

Sorry to kinda go off topic but Loran is a very good friend and of course we
are just having fun. I might add that I always take beer over to his house
when visiting for obvious reasons. Well that isn't the whole truth. I always
ask what his supply looks like and if good I just drink his beer.
I may it wrong but years ago over at Bob Olson's house we were picking thru'
Bob's records as he was down sizing. The Record Ranger picked up a 7 victor
that was flexible. Teasing me to get it first Vinyl he says and rare. The
label was from the 20's. Could be wrong about any or all of it. Damn I
Did not know Elmer but did meet Juanita back in the time frame you describe.
She was a very nice lady in fact sweet. Elmer's parts were first class. I
think at that time her son(s) were thinking of taking over the business so

I will agree with Harvey. I like 'em original. Many machines are in a state
where restoration is the only option. A restored machine that doesn't look

Bob Olson called me this weekend re Jack. Very sad indeed. your post reminds

together the screw should not extend past the thin nut. Using brass you can
fill the slotted head in with solder. Either use rub n buff or just black

Congrats Harvey,
If you look at the repeater you'll see how it operates as this one was not
invented by an insane man (APM).
A little hint, cylinders play from left to right. This is an inside joke and

Whoa,
Many people that make parts come and go. Good quality reproduction parts can
turn a machine useful and displayable until an original part can be found if
at all.
I take a different view, I'm very thankful all these people do what they do
and I doubt they are getting rich and perhaps in many
I recently read an interesting article from COCA Times I thought you all may
find interesting. COCA stands for Coin Operated Collector Association BTW.
The article by Jim and Merlyn Collings is about penny scales.
It seems the first *talking* penny scales originated out of England.
