Sorry for the mix up, but I took a picture of the serial plate, and what looked 
to me as an E is an F model.

Re: [Phono-L] "Sprung" Platter

[harvey kravitz via Phono-L]

I have a VV 1-1, and here is how I removed the turntable. I would saturate the 
spindle with either penetrating oil, liquid wrench or Kroil. Let the oil seep 
into the spindle and the turntable. After a few hours, put a couple of small 
pry bars underneath the turn table. Do not force this Take a standard 
hammer and lightly tap the spindle. The turn table should pop off. You might 
have to use the oil in more than one application. The important thing is to be 
very gentle. These were very cheaply made machines, and delicate. This method 
will work on other machines with stuck turn tables.Harvey Kravitz

Anyone

remove the platter on a VV 1-1 by prying and the platter is now warped.  I was 
thinking of possibly using a press to apply pressure and placing a tack weld on 
the “high” side of the platter/hub connection.  Would this work?Thanks.John

Re: [Phono-L] Model K/S pointer needed

I think George V's prices are reasonable.I have dealt with him for many years, 
and he has always been square with me. He provides a great service that we 
need.  Without him, how are you going to complete that phonograph??Harvey

I actually think George's prices are quite reasonable, all things considered. 
He consistently provides honest, outstanding service, and he invests in a broad 
range of inventory items, despite the fact that he may not be able to turn many 
of them over for months or in certain cases even years.

Not yet. I usually try the collector network first.  George has an amazing 
array of hard-to-find parts, and I've purchased many things from him in the 
past and will again in the future, but the prices tend to be high. Of course 
when you really need something, price is less of an object.

 Hello all
 Just wanted to tell you (as if I had to) of the marvelous repair Steve Medved 
 did on my Edison Model O reproducer.  It sounded fine from the time I got it 
 on ebay, but the stem broke free from the stylus bar assembly, and it turned 
 out it had been repaired before (badly).  Steve recognized the reproducer by 
 its number 9he told me he records serial numbered reproducers that appear on 
 ebay) and it had been auctioned by a man who told Steve that he had 
 completely rebuilt it. Whoever bought it from him put it back on ebay 6 
 months later, which is when I bought it.  I suspect they did the bad repair 
 and were trying to get rid of it. 
 Steve took a new stem made by (Is it public knowledge, Steve?) which is just 
 like the original, and made the repair, which involved much more than just 
 gluing it in.  He also salvaged the original indicator knob and pointer from 
 my original O and applied that to it!  He polished the diaphragm, which 
 gleams like new, and made it airtight, which it was not before.
 
 The reproducer sounds excellent, works just like new.  Thanks Steve, for 
 another high quality repair.  I give you 5 stars!

To the best of my knowledge, he does exact ones. He made a spruce horn for my 
Edison Idelia that is an exact copy. The unfinished horn was sent to Steve 
Farmer who finished the horn and applied Greg Cline decals. It is 
indistinguishable to the original except it's newer looking. The whole machine 
was restored, so the horn matches everything with the Idelia.

Re: [Phono-L] Can anyone identify this Sonora?

I have that same machine in oak. I don't have my catalog handy, but I think 
it's an Elite, the fourth one down from the Invincible(the highest). My 
fittings are nickel plated. I can't tell by yours if the hardware is  nickel or 
gold. Sonora Bombe style machines are scarce in Oak. There is a picture of one 
on the cover of Discovering Antique Phonographs by Tim Fabrizio and George Paul.

 Shawn, the reason you and Ken D. are confused is that this entire transaction 
 was conducted publicly on Phonolist.  That isn't a problem, except that Shawn 
 and Ken Danckaert (and possibly Ken Ogden) didn't know that. So no, Shawn did 
 not accidentally send an email to Ken Danckaert.
 
 Remember, everyone. Any time you reply to a message from Phonolist, it goes

 EDISON MODEL H: A very nice Edison model H reproducer. This one retains
 most of
 its original green stain. These reproducers were stained Green to allow the
 owners to distinguish between the Edison H and the Edison C. This one plays
 wonderfully. I replaced the limit loop which was missing when I received
 it. The
 
 original jewel is nice on this one. It easily fits in and out of the
 carriage.
 This would be a nice reproducer to add to your Edison four minute machine.
 
 PRICE: $105.00.
 
 
 EDISON LONG CASE HOME BOTTOM CASE: This is the bottom only to an Edison
 Home
 Long Case model A. It has a very nice original decal and much better than
 average original finish. The bottom board has the common split observed in
 most
 Edison Home cases. This could be a nice upgrade for a case bottom that has
 been
 refinished or has a less than desirable decal. It is a nice case bottom.
 
 PRICE: $95.00
 
 
 HAWTHORN AND SHEBLE CRANE. It is suitable and will work well on an Edison
 Home,
 Standard or Triumph. As well, it works on Columbia machines, certainly and
 A or
 an N. Being very adjustable, it will work with most smaller, as well as
 most
 larger horns (and all in between)This one is in as found condition and
 could use
 
 a little cleaning up. It will make a nice crane for someone who wants an
 all
 original example for their machine.
 
 PRICE: $165.00.
 
 
 
 Pictures available on request.
 
 
 Shipping and insurance only are additional. I will pay for the cost of a

Hello all
realize that I have not posted on my latest find.  I saw an ad for a local 
state sale that included a Victrola.   I checked out the photo and I knew it 
as not a common one.  It was not
the classic Victrola with the deeply carved corners and nickel 
lating.  It had more strict, straight lines and no curves.  The veneer 
n the front was in a V shaped grain pattern, and the cabinet on the 
hole looked almost more like a British made cabinet.
called the sale coordinator to ask the price, and she said she would have it 
ater in that same day.  She never called back, and I left messages to no 
vail.  So last Sunday morning (10/5) I drove the hour to Simi Valley, where the 
ale was taking place.  My partner and I joined a line of about 30 people and 
aited to get in.  When they opened the house and garage doors, I saw it at the 
ack of the garage. They were only letting 25 people at a time in, and luckily I 
as number 25.  I went in and checked it out, and then had my partner wait with 
t while I went into the house to find the coordinator and ask price.  While in 
he house I spotted another high profile collector and my heart sank.  I thought 
would have to go home empty handed.  He greeted me, and told me that the price 
as too retail for him (he purchases for resale) and my hope was restored!  I 
ound the coordinator and asked the price. She told me, and keeping in mind that 
he
said the house was sold and everything had to go that day, I counter offered 
ith the highest figure I could pay (which was $200 less than the asking 
rice).  She countered with a figure that was $50 higher than my offer, and I 
ccepted.  Luckily my partner had a $20 bill on him or I would not have been 
ble to buy it!.  We loaded it up and made the drive home, very carefully!
n to the phonograph - it was a Victrola 350, made in mid 1924 and discontinued 
n early 1925.  It was made to appeal to the more affluent, as its design and 
old plating indicates, and it came with a full set of albums (missing from this 
ne). From the Victor Data Book it appears that only 878 were made, with serial 
umber starting at 501.  This example is number 802, indicating that it is the 
01st manufactured.  It was exciting to hear from Bob Baumbach that he has only 
een one other of these machines.
ere is a link to the photos.

Re: [Phono-L] Mystery Phono! Vic 3 or Frankenphone?

[harvey kravitz]

From what I can see the parts are from a later Victor III. The cabinet looks 
old and original, but not to a Victor III. Did you take off the turn table to 
see if there were multiple holes in the motor board? If so, that would mean a 
swapped motor. If not, the cabinet can be new old stock that was modified by 
the original owner, a dealer, or a handyman. If there are no extra holes in 
the cabinet, I would strip and refinish it. It would be a very unique machine.

Subject: [Phono-L] Mystery Phono! Vic 3 or Frankenphone?
 

Hello Everyone,

Last night, Nick an I won an interesting phonograph at a local junk auction. 
Someone has spray painted the entire cabinet gold...inside and out! The double 
spring motor looks to be from a Victor III, the turntable and the upper works 
appear to be from a Victor III and it came with a ID plate (tacked inside the 
cabinet) that indicates it is indeed a Victor III. It also came with a nice 
original wood horn. 

The problem is, we have never seen a Victor cabinet with this design before. 
After quite a bit of research, we found that the Vic III came in two cabinet 
types and neither of them match this one, not even close! We own a late style 
Victor III to compare it to and it is definitely not the same. Strange. The 
wood under the terrible gold paint looks old and the back bracket looks to be 
correct. So we need to find out, is this a Frankenphone made up of Victor III 
parts with a handmade cabinet or a cabinet from a different machine? I was 
unable to find any cabinets with the kind of moldings this one has. Here are a 
few links to pictures we just took. 

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

[Phono-L] Dating Victor Exhibition Reproducers

[harvey kravitz]

A few months ago. I purchased a late model Victor E, S/N 55114. There are only 
2 holes in the back of the case, so it was set up as a rear mount. I'm guessing 
this machine is from 1904-5.The reproducer that came with the machine is S/N 
350479. This reproducer is original to the machine. The nickel plating and 
aging are consistent with the rest of the machine. The needle bar has the 
triangular hole for fiber needles. My guess that the reproducer was upgraded 
after 1909 after the triangular fiber needles were introduced. Originally, this 
reproducer would have had a round hole in the needle bar, and round knurled 
nuts. This leads to several questions about the Victor Exhibition reproducer. 
Is there a data chart with breakdowns of S/N's with dates? When did Victor 
switch to the hex nuts, but still retained the round hole? When did Victor use 
the spring loaded clamp, similar to the Columbia analyzing reproducer? When did 
Victor start using suffixes, like A
 after the S/N on their reproducers? Thanks in advance for any information on 
this.

Re: [Phono-L] Proposed Merger of MAPS and APS and successorpublication name

[harvey kravitz]

I also disagree with the merger. Each organization is unique in it's own way. 
Both publications are great. ITG focuses on all phonographs, even ones from the 
1950's, and The Sound Box covers the earlier ones. I know Steve already said 
that. I like ITG because it has different writers than the Sound Box. I like 
the free want adds, chapter news, how to articles, foreign machines by Anthony 
Sinclair. and the many other different articles. Both publications do not 
overlap. I also like the  6 issues as opposed to 4 issues of Sound Box. Even 
though I'm opposed to the 2 clubs merging, I know that they will judging from 
the consensus. If they merge, I hope the new publication will have the features 
of ITG. What ever is best for the hobby.

 Names like The Sound Box seemed too much like a cliché that fell far short

 I am posting this to both Phonolist and Phono-L -- the two  listserves I
 subscribe to.
 Those of you who belong to the Antique Phonograph Sovciety  (formerly known
 as the Calif. APS) should have received a letter in the mail  this week (or
 will shortly -- mine came yesterday) detailing the proposed  merger of the
 APS with MAPS effective January 1, 2014, (I'm guessing MAPS  members will
 get
 something soon.). I was told that there was a preliminary  meeting of
 members held at the Union show lat month, though no mention was  made in any
 
 reports of the show on either of these lists. So the mailing from  CAPS was
 the
 first formal document I saw.
 As outlined in the letter, the two organizations are often  serving the
 same group with  160  members (of MAPS' 607 and APS's 400 members belonging
 to
 both. Economically it  makes sense because postage to mail each society's
 magazine/journal is the  biggest cost. By combining memberships, there would
 
 be one dues and this might  attract more members. (Side note here: Every
 person on these newsgroups should  belong to at least one of these
 organizations to support the  hobby.).
 The plan is to take the best of both magazines and combine into  one.
 Currently APS's magazine focuses on pre-electric phonographs and and some
 recordings -- mostly pre-1910 -- while ITG (MAPs' magazine) covers recording
 artists as well as reissues of pre-Lp era recordings.  (As most of you know,
 I
 have  contributed a monthly -- now bi-monthly -- column, Anything
 Phonographic
 to  ITG for over 20 years , not missing one issue  yet!).
 I definitely support the merger if it will mean continuing the  great
 volunteer work done by the Boards and contributors of both  organizations.
 But --
 as I wrote in a letter to both boards yesterday -- I feel  that the proposal
 to make the name of the new society's publication -- which  would be
 published quarterly with more yearly pages than either has now -- The
 Antique
 Phonograph is not a good move. Personally I do not feel that it  reflects
 the
 contents if, in fact, the content will be similar to that in the  current
 ITG. In The Groove was named 30 years ago by John Whitacre and I  have

The later Victor I from 1909 -20, or later used a larger case. They used the 
same tone arm and elbow as a Victor II. I have a Victor I from 1910 that has 
the larger case 12x 12, and uses the 10 steel turntable. This has a Victor 
II bracket, arm, and elbow, and everything aligns perfectly. Is your Victor I 
the early one with a small case, or the larger one like mine?

The Victor I used back-bracket/elbow parts UNIQUE to it. Parts from other 
machines can not be substituted. There is some anecdotal evidence to suggest 
that in the period 1915 - 1920 those small numbers of Victor I's being produced 
may finally have acquired back-brackets virtually identical to contemporary 
Victor II's, but these machines are extremely rare and therefore do not enter

 Of course Al Jolson entertained the troops in the 1940s. But if you think he 
 was carrying around a 10-plus-year-old portable Victrola, then I guess he 
 wasn't getting paid the kind of money his staredom would have merited. (Not 
 getting paid to entertain the troops, but getting paid from his other 
 entrainment activities to be able to afford a new Victrola.)

  What troops, exactly, was Al Jolson entertaining? We were not at war 
 1919-1941, and had relatively small armed forces during that period.

I was installing a combo attachment on my Edison Standard and had every in just 
about the right position. I slightly rotated the mandrel to make sure it still 
moved smoothly, and the tiny headless set screw in the double-gear piece from 
the combo kit fell out. I guess I had backed it out a bit too much while 
working. There I was in one of those sudden slow motion scenes watching in 
horror as the screw slowly fell and bounced on the case, the workbench, the 
chair, my foot and the floor while I flailed around trying to stop it's 
merciless descent into the one crack in the cement floor under the workbench 
while simultaneously contributing the classic drawn-out dialog line:  Oooohhh 
No

So, can anyone help locate that screw? I'd go for that double-gear piece with 
the screw in it, if need be. I'd get 2 to have a backup (yes, I know I'm 
sometimes klutsy).

Thanks for hearing my tale of woe.

Words can not describe the shock and heavy hearts that Kathleen and I have

I am trying to narrow down Model N serial numbers, if anone has a Gem E I would 
be interested in the serial number of the N reproducer and the machine. You can 
reply off list if you like.  Hit reply and copy and paste my e-mail address. 
Thanks, Steve The N was made for the Standard E and appeared around serial 
number 22,000 with a flat top and round weight.  The N was used for the Gem E 
and left over Gem D machines.  It was made for the later Amberolas to play the 
wax amberols.  The N-56 was made for the amberola 5 and 6, the regular N was 
made for the amberola 8 and 10. 

1 The first N was the round weight; it came out around
serial number 22,000.  This had the pot
metal flat top.  The first one said Nat’l
Phono around 25614 they have TAE Inc on them.



2. The second N was the trowel, not to be mistaken with the
N-56.  The trowel N does not have a
pillar for the Amberola lift.  This
likely came out the same time as the trowel O around 42,000.  These have the 
early dome top.



3. Then come the bent weight N’s.  I have observed the start around 46,000 and
they normally have the good or last style of large top.  The bent weight N has 
six varieties.



1.   Extended H weight stamped Model N over H 4
Minute.

2.   Extended H weight stamped Model N 4 Minute.

3.   Extended H weight
stamped Model-N in slightly larger letters

4    Extended H weight
stamped N.

5.   N weight stamped
N

6.   N weight stamped
N with pin holding stylus bar in place.

The Frow book has four of these and does not mention the
trowel weight N.





7. Then the N-56 which has three serial number
varieties.  First the regular O and N
serial number, I have seen one in the 70,000 range.  Then more commonly I have 
seen four in the R
and S serial number range of 31,000. 
Finally the A series, I know of an N-56 with an A287 serial number.  I believe 
the A series were made after the
fire but I could be mistaken.  I do know
for certain that C, H and K’s were made after the fire along with 2 and 4 
minute recorders.

In 1911, Edison's companies
were re-organized into Thomas A. Edison, Inc.

Here is my story:
I was stationed in San Diego, CA 1n 1988, aboard the USS Cape Cod (AD-43). I 
was in supply, so I had plenty of room. I was at an antique store in San Diego 
and saw a Victrola VI from 1918. I always wanted a Victrola and this small one 
was perfect to bring aboard ship. It included 10 records and needles and was 
good to go. During trips out to sea, I would play that Victrola.. She sure 
sounded good.When I was due to transfer to Bremerton, WA, I had it shipped to 
the barracks. Once I was settled in the barracks, I played the heck out of the 
Victrola. I was bit by the bug.Later on I got an Edison Fireside, and a 
Columbia Q. I had three phonographs in my barracks room. Thank goodness my room 
mate was always out.I would play all of my machines while my household goods 
were still in storage.I got Eric Reiss's book and learned about repairs and 
restoration. These machines were my source of entertainment. In the meantime I 
was buying a home, in Bremerton. While I
 was living in the barracks, my neighbor would play rap records. I asked him 
many times to to turn down the music.He would not comply. I took my Edison 
Fireside with the big horn and crane added to it and placed the horn on the 
wall. I played the most obnoxious cylinders over and over again. There was a 
knock on my door and my neighbor was pleading for me to stop. He wanted to know 
what was making all of this noise, so I showed him the Fireside with the big 
horn against the wall. He was fascinated with my mini collection. A month 
later, I moved into the house and these phonographs breed like rabbits!!! I 
have been collecting for close to 25 years.

 Great to hear everyone's stories.  Here's mine.
 
 I've had an affinity for history, machines and the phonograph for as long as 
 I 
 can remember, and recall creating a paper model of an upright phonograph 
 before 
 I ever had a real one.  I also remember standing in utter awe, in the Edison 
 Winter Home and Museum in Fort Myers (now the Edison-Ford estates), gazing at 
 the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling display of cylinder players sprouting 
 morning 
 glory horns in such profusion that it looked like a massive, enchanted 
 garden.  
 I have to admit reaching out to touch some of the uprights and consoles 
 there, 
 lined up behind velvet barrier rails, just so I could feel the history.
 
 In 1974 when I was 12 my family moved, and within bike-riding distance of our 
 new home was a restaurant called Flynn's Dixie Ribs.  For ambience, it was 
 decorated with old relics, including Singer sewing machines and several 
 mostly 
 1920s phonographs.  I don't recall if they were for sale, but my first 
 phonograph, a Berg-Artone portable, was procured from there.  The 
 management 
 was very kind, letting me tinker with the machines in the off hours, and it 
 was 
 there that I got my first hands-on phonograph mechanism education.  I recall 
 that I paid for the Berg-Artone with a fine Morgan silver dollar and $5.00 
 hard-earned from mowing ten lawns in the Florida heat.  That portable had a 
 broken mainspring, a punctured, wrinkled aluminum diaphragm and a dangling 
 needle chuck.  You might say that the management got the better end of the 
 deal, 
 but for me it was a major coup to get the solid makings of a viable machine.  
 I 
 got two records with it; a tired copy of Jimmie Lunceford's R
 hythm is Our Business on Decca, and Till We Meet Again (paired with Have 
 a

 First I sorted out the reproducer and for a time I just spun the records by 
 finger-on-the-label, enthralled at how so much sound could come out of a 
 purely

Re: [Phono-L] Looking for a screw for a BK....

[harvey kravitz]

The screw in question is an ordinary set screw with a slotted head. You can get 
this screw at any well stocked hardware store. I had the same problem with my 
Edison Standard Model B. It was missing the set screw that held the 2/4 min. 
attachment to it. A 5-40 thread is very common
in a well stocked store.

 Subject: [Phono-L] Looking for a screw for a BK
 
 Hello all, 
  
 I am looking now for a headless screw for a Columba BK.  It is the size 5-40
 and holds the rod that he caraige slides across above the feed screw and
 gear.  It's for the rod that is in front of the mandrel.  There is only one
 screw and it goes on the left side of the rod.  This is the BK with the
 black bedplate.  I am hoping I can find some one with an original one that I
 do not have to alter.  I called Dwyane Wyatt and he only has one that I
 would have to screw in and then cut off.  That is not the way I want to go
 about it if I can help it.  If any one has one I would be very happy to
 purchase it.
 I would also like to thank EVERYONE for all the help I have been given
 here.  I live in a very rural mile square town with it being over 100 miles
 to the nearest city.  It is so nice to be able to be in contact with other
 collectors even though I do not get to meet anyone face to face. Maybe I
 will be able to make it to the next Orlando, Florida show and get to see
 some old friends and make some new ones.

 Hi Ken,Please explain what you meant by the right hand side of the
 attachment was missing... If it is just the bearing on the right side, you
 already have one in your machine. He couldn't be referring to the feedscrew,
 since that is permanently attached to the 2/4 gearing. The only other thing
 would be the feedscrew tube, which you also already have. So, if he has the
 feedscrew with the round gear case assembly attached and he has the BE plate
 that has the locking post on it, you should be good. You might also need the
 screws to attach the plate and the tube. Send a pic if you have one. Also,

Hi Ken,
When the economy was good, they were worth about $1000.00 - $1200.00. With the

A friend just called me and asked if I knew of a way  to get paint flecks 
off a Blue Amberol cylinder, without damaging it.  

I was thinking a pin or needle using a magnifying glass to gently dig  the 
flecks out?  

Playing the cylinder the correct Diamond B  reproducer might dislodge some 
of the flecks, but might not be good for the  stylus.

I asked if the paint was oil based, and he said he did NOT  think it was 
and thought it was plain house paint. 

Any  ideas?

I'm so sorry to here about your busted machine. UPS is notorious for damaging

or something along those lines, FEDEX is the best way to go. Sometimes, they 
are cheaper than UPS. USPS priority mail is another way to go, It may be a

Hello, I have a Triumph D that came with a repeater, the repeater is missing.  
It has the extra gearing on the pulley and the screws to hold the repeater to 
the upper bed plate. UPS dropped it and broke the lower bed plate.  I got 
another bed plate for it, the striping is poor. The pot metal bearing is 
removed. The large carriage was broken in two.  One spring in the motor is 
cracked in pieces, I removed it. The mandrel will likely have to be replaced. 
The feed screw might work, I do not know.  UPS messed it up, but it is not 
deep.   The adjusting screw that holds the front of the motor in place that you 
adjust pulley belt tension is bent.   The motor looks good, the small brass 
gears are worn.   It has no case, but came with a home made bottom case.   The 
mandrel inner rod should be good.   I would like to get $300 for the parts 
including shipping. Croaking frog was selling just the repeater pulley with the 
extra gear for $125, a motor frame
 alone for $60, speed control scre
w for $50, governor switch for $45, and I have seen spring barrels sell for 
around $100 and a whole motor go for $225. The spring barrel assembly, the 
motor, the upper and lower bed plate will be shipped in on box in separate 
pieces so nothing gets broken.   Steve

Do you need a 1-56 tap?  I have some NOS ones.  If a number of people want

Re: [Phono-L] Regal Phono

It's hard to tell from the head on shot. My guess is that's an imported machine 
with an American label. I could be wrong. The horn looks European to me. It's 
really hard to put a value on the machine.From what I've seen, I'd say it's 
worth $4-5 hundred. For some reason, European machines don't command the prices

Re: [Phono-L] phonograph belt making

[harvey kravitz]

I use Walther's Goo cement. It is a very flexible contact cement great for 
belts and record album repair. It can be purchased at any hobby shop that deals 
with model railroad supplies.

Hello Al, Where do you get your leather for the belts? Here is Barge Cement for 
those who like me had never heard of it:

 Neoprene, which is the generic brand name for chloroprene, has a life of 15 
 years according to NASA specs.  But, those specs are for non-flexing O rings 
 under compression and not exposed to air.  I suspect a neoprene belt would do 
 a great job and not have the problem a leather belt with a bad bulging joint 
 to cause record 'wow' would have.  That being said,  I have leather belts of 
 100+ years still going strong with original stitching.  For a machine just to 
 play a record well the neoprene is likely a good choice.  For originality, a 
 leather belt with stitching is my choice.  You can skive the ends of the 
 leather belt.  Join them with Barge Cement.  Then use one of those toy sewing 
 machines they sell As Seen On TV, with a home made guide fence, to put on the 
 twin parallel stitches.  A light touch of Barge Cement at the thread ends 
 will keep them from unraveling while playing.  The belt can be dressed with 
 leather protectant and will last
 indefinitely.
 
 That's my 2 cents worth...
 
 Al

The fellow selling them probably found Audio Visual equipment belts such as
would be used on projectors or VCRs that were the right size.  They cost a
couple of dollars each if you know what you are looking for.  It's getting
the right one yourself that is the problem.   He's already done the hard

John:

Thanks for the comments. I went out to EBay and found the belts and read the
comments. Seems like a practical item to try. I think I might give them a
go.

I noticed belts were listed for various machines. So, I assume a  belt is
for a specific machine. And not universal.

Again, thanks to all who commented.

I did write an article on it. These belts are not rubber but are neoprene. I
bought one for my Gem, liked it, and then bought one for my Fireside and
Home. They work very well. I tested the speed of the machine with the
tachometer and the speed is stable, not like it would be with a rubber belt.

Phono Listers:



I am working on a Edison Standard and at the point I need to make a belt.
While doing such, I recall an offering, I think on EBay, of a rubber like
belt. Now, don't get offended, I know the organic phono folk may not
appreciate this thread. ..

I think it was about $13! A little pricy. I suspect someone has found a
rubber belt manufactured  for something which works well.



Does anyone have comments, thoughts and or information like: substance,
source, other important info  specifics etc, regarding this belt topic?



Are there any rules of thumb as to making leather belts such as length of
leather: length of the loop: shaping the ends: how much overlap: glue or
adhesive:



Anything one has to offer would be appreciated..

Re: [Phono-L] Cracked Record Repair/Preservation

[harvey kravitz]

Hi Curt

I do something similar. I use ACC(crazy glue) and run a drop on the edge of the 
crack. I carefully move the cracked part up and until the glue flows into the 
whole length of the crack using a capillary action. Then I carefully use the 
pointy end of a paper towel to remove the excess of the glue. I have used this 
method for over 20 years since I started collecting.

Subject: [Phono-L] Cracked Record Repair/Preservation


I recently decided to try a repair/restoration on a cracked early Zonophone 
record. The crack was a hairline from the edge to the label, with a slight gap 
near the edge. Normally I throw these away, since they usually get worse and 
break anyway. I decided to try a method that I thought might work using 
Weldbond white glue. Weldbond is a very versatile glue that works well on a 
number of types of materials and is easy to use since it cleans up with water 
and is key to this process. 
I placed a line of glue along the entire crack, then worked it in with my 
finger while gently flexing the crack to make sure the glue penetrated into the 
crack. I did both sides of the crack the same way. Then using a damp - not wet 
- paper towel and rubbing in the direction of the grooves, I wiped out any 
excess and made sure the grooves were not filled in. After 24 hours, the record 
sounds as solid as new when tapped and plays well. You can still see the 
hairline crack, but it filled in solid and is now stabilized and plays well 
considering. I have done this on several other records that I could not stand 
to throw away and they turned out well. Try it on one of your damaged records 
for posterity's sake - what do you have to lose? Curt

Subject: [Phono-L] Robles' Edison-Clarence Ferguson transcript

I just want to take a moment to let the group know my impressions of John 
Robles' effort in printing and re-issuing the booklet that was transcribed from 
the rare original Clarence Ferguson interview (The Last Edison Dealer), 
originally issued by Leo Kimmett in 1972:

I just finished reading this compilation of Kimmett's questions and Ferguson's 
reminiscences, and really enjoyed it immensely.  It's nice how Ferguson's 
personality comes through, in addition to the information and insights.  I 
especially found it interesting to read about having to shout into the 
recording 
horn for the disc, in contrast to using natural voice (such that it would be 
with some projection, I imagine) into the cylinder recording horn.

Delightful picture also of the inebriated musicians at the Columbia studio.  
Glimpses of Ferguson's recollections of Cal Stewart and other notable early 
recording artists shed a more vibrant light on the personalities than you would 
find in the conventional biographies.  And of course always interesting to read 
anything about Edison himself, and some of this also comes through in the 
writing.

I was amazed that Ferguson's recall extended from the living memory of these 
artists and events to the technical, even recalling the lengths, widths, 
thicknesses and termination details of the mainsprings for all the popular 
model 
Edison phonographs.

What I've mentioned here just covers a small part of the broad range of answers 
to Kimmett's questions.

Although a slender volume of approximately 25 pages, at $12.50 postpaid it's 
well worth every penny.  Where else are you going to get information like that? 
 
The time and print cost alone on a small private printing like this makes the 
price more than fair.  The effort to re-transcribe Kimmett's nearly 40-year-old 
original, in clean, readable type is a nice plus as well.  It's all very 
welcome 
information. 


Thanks for taking the time to re-publish this irreplaceable history.  Would 
that 
it were ten times as long!

 Hello All
 Due to the importance of sharing this information with the collecting 
 community 

(and after a search of the United States Copyright Office!), I am happy to 
announce that I am offering, in a new and very readable format, the Clarence 
Ferguson interview taped and transcribed y Leo Kimmet in 1968, where he 
conducts 

a lengthy conversation Ferguson that is full of vital and fascinating inside 
information.  Ferguson was employed in the Edison phonograph factory since 
1907 

and eventually became an Edison Phonograph dealer, who had new old stock to 
sell 

in both parts and records up until the 1950s/60s.  He was known as the 'last 
Edison dealer', 

 Some of you may remember the booklet, entitled The Edison Phonograph Company 
and Related Opinions of Clarence Ferguson'.  It was published in a limited 
number in 1972. Chapters include 'Records and Recording', 'Phonograph 
Repairing', 'The Edison Plant', 'Phonograph Parts', 'Recording Artists' and 
'Miscellaneous Information'. You won't believe what happened to a lot of new 
phonographs and record moulds when the plant was closed...And what happened to 
all the master cylinder moulds in the early 1930s at Babson Brothers...
  

   
  



 The new edition is printed in 8-1/2 x 11 format, with glossy cover, with 
 the 

addition of a photo of Clarence, a photo Leo Kimmet, and the reproduction of

 Subject: [Phono-L] New Clarence Ferguson book edition available
 
 Hello All
 Due to the importance of sharing this information with the collecting 
 community 
(and after a search of the United States Copyright Office!), I am happy to 
announce that I am offering, in a new and very readable format, the Clarence 
Ferguson interview taped and transcribed y Leo Kimmet in 1968, where he 
conducts 
a lengthy conversation Ferguson that is full of vital and fascinating inside 
information.  Ferguson was employed in the Edison phonograph factory since 
1907 
and eventually became an Edison Phonograph dealer, who had new old stock to 
sell 
in both parts and records up until the 1950s/60s.  He was known as the 'last 
Edison dealer', 

 Some of you may remember the booklet, entitled The Edison Phonograph Company 
and Related Opinions of Clarence Ferguson'.  It was published in a limited 
number in 1972. Chapters include 'Records and Recording', 'Phonograph 
Repairing', 'The Edison Plant', 'Phonograph Parts', 'Recording Artists' and 
'Miscellaneous Information'. You won't believe what happened to a lot of new 
phonographs and record moulds when the plant was closed...And what happened to 
all the master cylinder moulds in the early 1930s at Babson Brothers...
  
   
  


 The new edition is printed in 8-1/2 x 11 format, with glossy cover, with 
 the 
addition of a photo of Clarence, a photo Leo Kimmet, and the reproduction of 
Clarence's stamp with picture of an Edison phonograph with Edison's face 
inside 
the horn and Clarence's address above.  As a special bonus, I have acquired a 
number of the original cylinder box labels that Clarence had printed up and 
which he would apply to original Edison Blue Amberol boxes.  One of Clarence's 
original labels will be included with each book sold. There are a limited 
number 
of 100 labels available, so if you are interested please order soon.
 The price is $12.50 including Media Mail shipping in the US. International 
rates will be higher.  Pament can be made by Paypal or by check.  Please feel

Got a question. I have a Amberola D-X that has a flutter or water sound when 
playing. I have made it a new belt, it is clean lubricated and the motor runs 
strong.  The only thing I have to suspect is the mandrel pulley. Do those swell 
or become deformed. The mandrel pulley is pot metal and appears to have flakes, 
I cleaned it but am wondering if it is out of round? If you watch the motor run 
the tensioner moves in and out more than I would expect leading me to believe 
something is out of round or a shaft is bent... Any advice?

For those that have not noticed it being done.  The standard dealer test 
of the condition of the DD diamond stylus is to run their dirty thumb 
over it and if it feels like there is a point on it they pronounce it 
good. So, plan on buying a replacement bar or trashing the records. If 
you happen to have a good microscope you can inspect the point yourself 
for condition as it is a rounded end conical shape and is symmetric with 
no flat spots.

 If you buy a reproducer you can count on the diamond being bad, 2 and only 2 
 of 
the Diamond ABC reproducers I have rebuilt have had good diamonds, the rest 
were 
worn or damaged.  I purchased an Edisonic on eBay with a good diamond and 
recently I did a Dance and and Edisonic for a man and both diamonds were good. 
 
This is the exception rather than the rule.

 People think diamonds are indestructible but I NEVER play any DD record with 
surface damage and I lower my stylus in the starting groove then I spin up the 
record, and I stop the record before I raise the reproducer.

 When used as a stylus diamonds in DD reproducers are weak and must be 
 carefully 
shielded from damage:
 Toughness
 Toughness relates to a material's ability to resist breakage from forceful 
impact. The toughness of natural diamond has been measured as 3.4 MN 
m-3/2,[10] 
which is good compared to other gemstones, but poor compared to most 
engineering 
materials. As with any material, the macroscopic geometry of a diamond 
contributes to its resistance to breakage. Diamond is therefore more fragile 
in 
some orientations than others.

 According to Edison Diamond Disc Re-Creations records  artists 1910-1929 
 page 
107:

 In this process the diamonds were first silver plated, then mounted on rods 
with paraffin, plated for 72 hours with nickel layers electro deposited under 
tension.  The styli were thus held under layers of nickel at thousands of 
pounds 
of pressure.  The nickel-encased diamonds were then polished to conical shape, 
the nickel at the stylus point being found away as the diamond was polished.  
The finished stylus was then soldered into its stylus bar.  In the early days, 
bare diamonds were just soldered into bars and were prone to breakage when 
carelessly lowered onto the record.

 The original DD styli were soldered in, Edison stopped this practice when it 
was noted that such diamonds were prone to damage when carelessly lowered onto 
records.  The earliest bars have the bare diamond soldered in; the later ones 
were first plated with nickel and then soldered in.  To understand this think 
of 
a wooden pencil the diamond is the lead.  When the pencil is sharpened the 
wood 
is removed and the lead is shaped, the wood is the nickel and the lead is the 
diamond.

 Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Diamond Disk stylus repair


 I went through that whole thing with a DD player I had. I actually thought 
 it 
would be better to buy an entire reproducer, because of the cost... but I 
bought 
it on eBay - it had a diamond, but it was bad - it played, but tore up 
records. 
It took buying three to get one decent one. There is no way to determine if 
an 
eBay seller actually knows if they are good or bad - some might, but more 
than 
likely, you will get one that someone else had trouble with.


 Buy one from a reputable phono guy like George Vollema in Michigan or Ron 
Sitko, its worth it. Even if you buy the stylus mounted on a needle bar - 
those 
reproducers are a pain to rebuild, especially removing and replacing the 
needle 
bar and trying not to break the little string that connects it... It takes a 
punch the size of a blunt needle to remove the pin, which is also rounded on 
the 
end and since they have been in there almost 100 yrs., they can be very 
aggravating. All in all, if you don't need more stress in your life, buy a 
rebuilt one from someone who knows how to do it - a jeweler most likely will 
not.

The real problem with judging prices on eBay, is that it is not an auction. 
There is absolutely no point in placing a bid early in the listing, because you 
are not competing with other bidders like in a real auction. The only thing 
that counts, is what you throw in during the last 5 seconds of the listing and 
if you throw enough, you win.

 I couldn't tell you. I had a early Vic I (mint) all original, low serial
 number, original small flower horn, and small reproduction bell horn (for a
 flawless display) on EBay, and it went for $625. At the same time a beat
 up, non working, no horn, nothing special Vic 1 went for $1500. Go figure.
 Recently I offered an oak spearpoint (make an offer) horn on on these phono
 forums, NO bites, but it went for $1250 on EBay. Who knows what goes on in
 the mind of a collector?

  Hello all
  Well, after I had offered it here with no takers, I had listed my Theodore
  Roosevelt cylinder on eBay, It used to be that they went for around $100,
  and it only got up to $66. What's your opinion, is this cylinder (Social
  and Industrial Justice) just that common, or is it the economy, or what?
  Just wondering. I can seem to let it go for less than $85 so I think I'll
  keep it.

Harvey,
How did you find the rigid arm Victor? I searched under everything I could 
think 
of and it didn't come up... maybe that's why it's so cheap.
Here is another unusual machine that you don't see for sale very often:  
http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-Vassos-RCA-Victor-Special-PHONOGRAPH-model-L-/110602410689?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0hash=item19c06adac1


The real problem with judging prices on eBay, is that it is not an auction. 
There is absolutely no point in placing a bid early in the listing, because you 
are not competing with other bidders like in a real auction. The only thing 
that counts, is what you throw in during the last 5 seconds of the listing and 
if you throw enough, you win.

 It cracks me up what items sell on ebay. Several years ago, I bought an 
 incomplete Berliner on ebay for $750.00. I was missing the horn, elbow and 
 some 

 screws. I have since completed the machine. At the same time, a VV IX went 
 for 

 $1500.00!! Just recently, a Standard model F went for $6100.00!! Now there is 
 a 

 rigid arm Victor E going for $950.00 with a few hours to go. It could go up 
 in 

 the last few minutes of the auction. Those are my observations of ebay.

 Yeah, I think you're right. I've seen good things go on ebay for nothing and 
 crappy stuff go high.
 I have a 5400 series BA that I tried to sell and couldn't get more than $20 
 after listing it twice, (it was a Hawaiian number) so I kept it. I just 
relisted 

 it yesterday and its up to $42 already. So, as you say, go figure.

Re: [Phono-L] Mike Vertucci has passed away

[harvey kravitz]

Although I never met Mike in person, I corresponded with him for over 10 years. 
I bought three machines from him. They were an early front mount AH,  2/4 min 
Edison Model A Triumph, and a late BNW with a giant fluted horn. These machines 
were in great condition and my favorites. Mike and I would talk on the phone 
for 
over an hour talking about phonographs and other subjects. It's been a 
privilege 
to know you Mike and RIP.

Subject: [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.
