[Phono-L] Edison Opera

[Steven Medved]

Hello Chris,

You (finding the website) and Rick (notice the grammar) have impressed me.  The one extremely helpful thing (beside the help of you two) is the serial number that makes it impossible for a fraud to get around.

I wonder if someone hijacked the account?  I noticed the seller canceled the sale.

Best regards,

Steve
