My early Edison home is number  H1265, last patent date is June 30, 1893. (This still probably dates from around 1897). This machine has the lift lever rest on the left side, and a brass mandrel, cast iron drive pully on the bottom, not skelital topworks, Originally had the weighted feed nut, but changed carrages, because the weight was very corroded and rusty. The on and off lever presses on the governor pad, instead of having it's own The govorner weights are brass.  It is a very smooth working machine, plays very well.

I'm quite suspicious about this instruction booklet: 
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290347181353
I believe this is one of the reproductions of an original booklet that Jalal Aro made a few years ago.  I've asked the seller to send me a photo of the back cover -- that's where it would be clear that Jalal made it, and you'll notice that only this page is missing from the seller's photos.  Also, the seller's description does not make any claim about it being original, but doesn't say it isn't, either.  And... Jalal told me that this seller had asked for a few of the booklets and he gave them to him.
So, bid with caution unless you're knowingly interested in one of these reproductions, which are really quite nice!

I just bought a Polly Portable Phonograph in good condition, but the

for best performance.  Does anyone make a replacement or know of a spare?

How about coating it with shellac?  It would add stiffness and maybe improve
function.

Hello all
I am very fascinated by a blue edison Home horn on ebay. I'd like to put it on my Triumph, though it isn't really a Triumph horn. I am captivated by the blue color. Now the question? - I know Edison made blue morning glory horns for export, I think Australia?among other palces, as I recall.? This horn appears to be originally painted blue. There is blue paint under where the patent decal is scratched, not black paint. The pictures seem to show that it has age, and is in the same general condition of many of the black japanned horns. I am really close to buying it, but thought I wold run it up the flagpole here for your always-valued opinions. Is this the correct Edison blue??
Item number is 390091033931.
Thanks

I just received a note form a collector friend in Australia about the blue horn. he says:
"Hi
I have been collecting Edisons since 1978, in that time I have owned 2 blue cygnet horns, a couple of blue Gem horns and 3 green gem horns, I have not had or seen this shape horn in blue. The blue horns we had were a pale blue, this one seems to dark. It looks to me as if the paint has run onto the one decal which suggests it has been repainted."
?
Still interested in hearing what you have to say, but not as likely to buy it til I study some more!
Thanks

John,I am not aware of the blue export horns you mention / although I'm notdoubting it.  It is hard to tell from the photographs on ebay, but if you lookclosely at the top of the patent date decal...there appears to be some black paint around the top edge (as if it were originally painted black).  How can one tell if the blue paint is under a scratched decal and not simply a drip on top of the decal from a repaint?  For what it's worth and judging by the conditionof the rest of the horn...I'm guessing it has been repainted.Lee Lee Rexrode(a collector of phonos and horns since 1990)

John,

It looks to me like the patent decal has blue paint that ran down on it and it has a black outline.  

I agree with Lee.  (He is very skilled in this area)

I have an all original blue Gem horn.

The seams are painted gold as found on other Edison horns.

the blue horn on Ebay hasn't any gold paint on the seams from what I 
can see.

John,

This horn was originally a black Edison 11 panel "Thomas A. Edison Home" signature label on it. The blue paint job was painted over the black with a terrible attempt to mask off the original decals. I wouldn't touch this with a ten foot pole! Edison did sell blue horns but they were signature labeled as "Thomas A. Edison Standard" horns and were 10 panel with flowers painted on the interior. One can be seen here:

John,

 

I have to agree with the consensus here. The horn looks painted, certainly not an Edison blue color.  These original blue horns are in fact quite rare.  If you'd like to see the blue horn owned by Charley Hummel, check out my videos:

1. "Dinner at Charley Hummels April 2008" at: http://www.phonojack.com/gallery/MME-10-11-08.wmv   and slide the time up to 00:49 

 

Also:

2.  "The Halloween Theme MME Oct 2008" at: http://www.phonojack.com/gallery/MME-10-11-08.wmv and slide the time up to 03:50 and also at 05:18 and you'll see the horn; click the pause button for a better look.

Have fun,

I have that horn shown in the video. It is on my Model E Standard. It's the only decorated blue horn that Edison manufactured for the domestic market, to the best of my knowledge. This horn is unique to the Model E Standard 1911. I too, looked at the ebay listing and this is obviously a repaint. BTW, nice collection, Charley. - Harvey Kravitz

Thank you Ron, that is splendid suggestion.  If I decide to sell the 
player, would that affect the value?

 Maybe try a very thinned-out mix of shellac, so it isn't too obvious. 
Somebody must have slopped thick shellac on my Pathe paper cone, because

Sounds like Gene Gogal in Canada, he is famous for his off eBay deals where he cheats people.

 

I would use PayPal with a credit card, that way you have some protection.  I sent Gene $110 cash and he happily took my money and never even thanked me, I saw on eBay that the buyer that supposedly did not want the items left him feedback for them.

After one insulting message from the seller when I asked his if this was
a reproduction (he initially refused to answer, telling me with
exclamation points to read and reread his description), he admitted in a
second e-mail that it was a reproduction, or "an original copy" as he so
obtusely put it. He then said a true original would be $750 and that his
copy was a bargain--not that I'd bid anything  this guy had to sell.

If you're thinking about a replacement one....try some poster board.? 

Use black or some other bland color and trace your old cone. I did this once and it works fine.

Hello All, 

 

This is my second post, However I read with baited breath every word of the mail list.

 

I finished the restore on my Victor VV-IV. And it sounds great and looks wonederful. Today I got a call from a friend who said he found a "Stand Up Victrola" Would I be interested. I said sure and when I got there I found it to be a Edison S-19-SM Serial Number 3224. It winds up fine and turns. However it needs lots of TLC. I had to fork over $35 to get and I did.

 

Now my question, What type of needle does it use and where can I get one? Ok questions. IS there anything Special I should know before I start to tear this machine apart?

 

thanks in advance,

 

Matt

This seller is the same person that bought that Miki. a few months back from that US seller (firebottles) for that outrageous price.It was so high that I think every chat room brought it up.Around that time  I noticed he had tried to sell a Miki tin and he got no bids and was closed.I asked what he would take and at 150.00 seemed fair.I sent him US cash as he told me that anything else there would be a 10.00 US service fee.During all this his emails were fast & furious and after,I only got "I'm on holidays" and that was it.I don't know maybe he didn't receive my money.I do find it strange that the tin never came up for sale again.

Hi Matt,



That machine uses a diamond reproducer--so you don't have to change any needles.? You will want to play ONLY Edison Diamond disc records on it.? If it turns out that it needs a diamond, they are kind of pricey.? I am sure there are people on this list that could set you up with one.? 



I just did think of one thing.? Perhaps your machine came with the adaptor to play regular 78 records.? I guess you would have to describe the reproducer you got with it before any of us could tell you for sure what you need.



? I have found diamond disc machines easy to work on.? Just make sure the spring is wound down all the way before you begin doing anything!? Good luck and have fun with it.

I'll second what Mike said and add that if you have the Diamond Disc
reproducer you can get replacement styli and gaskets for the rebuild from
George Vollema.  How do you know if you need new gaskets?  Blow gently into
the open end of the reproducer.  If it leaks air readily, you need new
gaskets.  How do you know if you need a new stylus?  Pick a Diamond disk
record that is reasonably shiny and let the reproducer play in the run out
area.  If you see a line scratching into the shiny flat surface, then the
diamond is bad and should be replaced.

ello All, 
 
This is my second post, However I read with baited breath every word of the
mail 
ist.
 
I finished the restore on my Victor VV-IV. And it sounds great and looks 
onederful. Today I got a call from a friend who said he found a "Stand Up 
ictrola" Would I be interested. I said sure and when I got there I found it
to 
e a Edison S-19-SM Serial Number 3224. It winds up fine and turns. However
it 
eeds lots of TLC. I had to fork over $35 to get and I did.
 
Now my question, What type of needle does it use20and where can I get one?
Ok 
uestions. IS there anything Special I should know before I start to tear
this 
achine apart?
 
thanks in advance,
 
Matt

I'll second what Mike said and add that if you have the Diamond Disc
reproducer you can get replacement styli and gaskets for the rebuild from
George Vollema.  How do you know if you need new gaskets?  Blow gently into
the open end of the reproducer.  If it leaks air readily, you need new
gaskets.  How do you know if you need a new stylus?  Pick a Diamond disk
record that is reasonably shiny and let the reproducer play in the run out
area.  If you see a line scratching into the shiny flat surface, then the
diamond is bad and should be replaced.

Re:  Diamond Disc Reproducer
 
Assume that all old rubber gaskets need replacement.  They are not there to 
make the diaphragm airtight BUT to act as vibration dampeners.  New 
compliant gaskets in a properly adjusted reproducer will greatly increase the bass 
response and make for more clear sound reproduction.
 
The diamond stylus can be worn down and should be checked with a microscope 
to be sure there is no flat spot or damage that would cause records to wear.

In the first place gaskets in an Edison DD reproducer were cork not rubber. 
It is extremely important that the diaphragm is air tight. Also make sure 
that that that end of the linkage is tight as well. The brown material you 
see is burnt shellac. That was used to seal the cone to  the diaphragm and 
over the ends of the tiny nut retaining the stylus cord. Using Pvc-E here 
works fine as there is no shear motion and stays pliable unlike the burnt 
shellac that is ridgid. The object again is to make it airtight. If you 
REALLY want to tighten things up, install an O ring of perfect size as the 
end of the reproducer. I tack mine on with Crazy glue. Now you have an 
airtight chamber from diaphragm to tip of horn. If you don't believe the O 
ring (air tightness) makes any difference (air tightness), take it out and 
compare the difference. Air leakage is very detrimental in an acoustic 
system.
Bruce
ps. remove and polish the rear weight bearing with silver polish, and 
re-oil. This is often overlooked.

 Edison
switched to cork gaskets around 1924 as he found that cork retains

resiliency longer than rubber.  (from Ron D)

Hello Bruce,

You must have only seen the later DD reproducers, from 1912 to 1924 the gaskets are a soft natural rubber that began to harden in as little as six months.  I have seen Edison cylinder reproducers with cork gaskets, Edison still did repairs into the 1920's.  

I use a Q-Tip and a Dremel tool to polish the inside of the body where the stud goes and the stud itself.  I use synthetic oil so it will not gum up again.

The stylus bar is another critical area, many times it is gummed up and does not move freely.

Steve

George,it is for a outside horn machine.As I wrote,with the fat end up and away from you the 90 bend at the reproducer goes to the right.This is for a friend and hope to find something that will work.I think there some that also had a "U" end like Victor but no pivot rod thru the back.

  George,it is for a outside horn machine.As I wrote,with the fat end up and away from you the 90 bend at the reproducer goes to the right.This is for a friend and hope to find something that will work.I think there some that also had a "U" end like Victor but no pivot rod thru the back.

If this arm you are looking for has a pivot rod at the back end and just a
right angle bend to the reproducer, it sounds like a rigid arm.  How would
one raise/lower the reproducer onto the record?

George,thanks for looking.As I wrote even if it will require some moding ie, I may have to drill the little holes in the top.as you know the 1 3/4" by 9.5" is the most important part.

That's what I like about this group, you learn something new about your 
passion all the time. The earliest reproducer I have is on my C-250, the one 
with the screwed on stylus plate. This machine is from 1916. It does have 
cork gaskets so they  must have been been replaced very early on. I've had 
several reproducers with the screw-on plates and they all have had cork. 
They must have kept the dealers busy retrofitting!
Thanks for the info.
Bruce

And how are the cork gaskets?  The ones I've seen (and replaced) seem rather
brittle and most of the time have deformed and come out from under the flat

They must have kept the dealers busy retrofitting!
Thanks for the info.

The ones on the small reproducers like the C H K held up well, the most of the ones on the DD reproducers have been deformed and come out.

Thanks for the kind reply.  The screw on plate is the second style made from around 1913 to 1915.  I enjoyed reading this as I have never seen an earlier one with cork.

 

One thing about Edison there is always more to learn.  I recently saw a reproducer originally with a Duncan stop upgraded to an Edisonic with nickel plating.

Thanks to All for the good information about the reproducer. My next concern is the Grill. Does any one have a pattern of it I can get so I can make a new one? I have the out side frame. I need to make the inner fancy part. And in the same area, What is the correct grill cloth?

 

Thanks again from the owner of two crank machines and I hear two of anything is the start of a collection.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Bobbie Hummel.  We all
know Charlie Hummel, the great phonograph collector.  However, it was Bobbie
who brought up Charlie?s grandfather?s phonograph from the basement and
mentioned ?Why don?t you fix that old phonograph??  That is when Charlie
found his second love which Bobbie fully supported.

Charlie Hummel enjoys sharing his knowledge of phonographs and his
collection with others.  But, it was also Bobbie who enjoyed his zest for
the hobby.   They both enjoyed sharing their collection with other
collectors from throughout the world.

If you ever had an opportunity to visit Charlie after one of the Wayne, NJ
shows, you would have a rare treat of meeting Bobbie.  In the fall, Bobbie
would have the house decorated for Halloween and in the springtime Easter
bunnies would greet you on the lawn.  She would usually be in the kitchen
preparing a delectable meal for hungry collectors.   Her lasagna was
incredible.  I stated it must be hard to make such a large quantity and she
would respond, ?Oh, it is easy.?  Her grandchildren were always around to
help and Charlie always did the serving.  Charlie always had interesting
items for guests to marvel and snacks would be on every table in the living
room.

At the end of the party Charlie would usually start a fire in the fireplace
to burn the paper plates.  Bobbie would join him and they would sit side by
side as Charlie would state ?he married the best wife in the world.?  Also
the most beautiful, which Bobbie was with that twinkle in her eyes and
beautiful blond hair.

We send our sympathy to Charlie, his children and grandchildren. They are
such a great family.  Bobbie will be greatly missed by all that knew her in
our phonograph hobby.

Joan & Robin Rolfs

Subject: [Phono-L] Information On 12" Victor Charles Lindbergh/Coolidge
	Records

Although I'm not currently interested in selling, these are the three  
that I have (includes the 10" record):
Does anyone else out there on Phono-L know of any other recordings  
surrounding the events of Lindbergh's return to the US, or  
particularly unusual or rare Lindbergh-related 78's (exclusive of the  
commonly popular songs)?

Victor 12" scroll label 35834-A Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's address  
before the press club at Washington, D. C., June 11, 1927
Victor 12" scroll label 35834-B Col. Lindbergh's Souvenir Record -  
concluded (with facsimile of Lindbergh's signature printed below title)

Victor 12" scroll label 35835-A President Coolidge Welcomes Colonel  
Lindbergh at Washington, D. C., June 11, 1927 - Part 1
Victor 12" scroll label 35835-B President Coolidge Welcomes Colonel  
Lindbergh at Washington, D. C., June 11, 1927 - Part 2

Victor 10" scroll label 20747-A Actual Moments in the Reception to  
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh at Washington, D. C., - Part 1:
	The U.S.S. Memphis docks at the Navy Yard-
	The Salute to Secretary Wilbur -
	Col. Lindbergh Sets Foot on American Soil-
	The Start of the Procession
Victor 10" scroll label 20747-B Actual Moments in the Reception to  
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh at Washington, D. C., - Part 2:
	The march along Pennsylvania Avenue-
	The reception at the foot of the Washington Monument

The 12" records feature the voices of the names shown on the label,  
while the 10" record is Graham McNamee reporting.  The breathlessness  
you hear in McNamee's voice may be in part due to his being a native  
Minnesotan, so this arrival would have had an extra measure of meaning  
for him.

Does anyone else know of other recordings surrounding the events of  
Lindbergh's return to the US, or particularly unusual or rare  
Lindbergh-related 78's (exclusive of the commonly popular songs)?

Subject: [Phono-L] Lindbergh recordings
Message-ID: <410-220099525221124671@earthlink.net>

 I have been able to get a couple of the Lindbergh records. I believe that one was a 10 inch, and another a 12 inch. They were all taken from the NBC network lines. If you've never heard Graham McNamee before, you'll hear him on these discs! He was the champion commentator, doing the color on the Lindbergh arrival, as well as doing a lot of sports coverage.  His oratorical, terse, delivery died in the early thirties.

While I understand that the issue here is records, if you want to see actual footage, with the McNamee sound dubbed (synchronized motion picture was a few months in the future that month),  look into the movie:"Lindbergh's Great Race". I have it, and you'll find that there must have been thousands of feet of film coverage, of Lindbergh's flight, and all of the activity in Europe, and then, at the reviewing stand in DC. You'll see the Cruiser Memphis, that brought him home, and all of the pomp and ceremony that resulted from his flight. I feel that this is the best display of Lindbergh's activity that ever there has been. You'll hear all of the sound on the movie, that Victor recorded, and more.

Maybe some day, I to, might have all of the records, but I'm happy with the movie. It's a lot cheaper than some of these recordings have gone fore at auctions!

I am looking to try an pin down what type of Victor Finish this might be, but it is hard to determine from the small samples that are shown in Victor Data Book. 

Anyone care to offer an opinion.

    I think that is probably what was known as "Flemish oak".  Very, very 
dark, almost black with a semi-gloss finish.  I have an Edison C-250 in 
flemish oak which is a very rare finish for a DD machine.  I've seen only 
one other example.  It's the only Edison finish that looks remotely this 
dark.  The other possibilities shown in Baumbach's latest LFTD book might be 
"gunmetal" (perhaps a bit greenish or bluish) or "driftwood", but I think 
those finishes were both less glossy than what's seen in this video.  Or 
perhaps it is "Early English" as the owner speculates in the video.

I believe that the finish is Antique English Oak. I have a 1912 Victrola XVI that I'm restoring that has that same finish. Harvey Kravitz

I've been contacted by someone who has two of these 16" Pathe records and two Music Service Co. Inc. records pressed by Pathe.? I'm thinking of making an offer on them but am concerned about having them shipped.? What are they made of?? Are they shellac and unlikely to make a journey through the post office?? I can guide them on shipping methods but people don't?always listen completely!? What do these go for?? Playing them will be a different dilemna but I'll deal with that later.

Thanks,
Glenn

These records were designed to play loud and at about 120rpms, and were made for Dance Halls. They were the last vertical groove saphire ball records made by Pathe in the early 1920s, and Pathe made a short lived special phonograph to play them. Today you will have to find a transcription phonograph to play them. As for price, assuming the records are in good condition figure 45 - 85 dollars depending on the selection. Jazz numbers will command the higher price, boring ballads etc. the lower price. They are heavy shellac records. They are acutally a little less then 16" so you can shp them in a heavy cardboard 16" Pizza box (don't laugh, it works) as long as you sandwich them between some sturdy cardboard and cover that for further protection with some bubble wrap. Be sure and stamp the box fragile, and insure them.

Bruce,

 

Victor Talking Machines (VTM) offered a very wide selection of finishes on several types of woods. These finishes could be custom ordered.  The tiger strip of your oak wood is easy to identify, but the variety of stains on oak made identification a bit more difficult.   

 

I believe that finish is GM.  Gunmetal Oak. GM on oak is actually a bit darker than EE English Oak.  To match GM on oak today, I'd use Jacobean color stain. 

 

I've not seen any evidence that VTM used Irish Oak.  

 

Jack

I am looking to try an pin down what type of Victor Finish this might be, but it is hard to determine from the small samples that are shown in Victor Data Book. 

Anyone care to offer an opinion.

Thanks,

Bruce

I rescued a Grafonola E-2 today from making it to the dump.  It was not restorable as the bottom half was pretty bad, including a hole punched through the side of it.  If anyone needs parts off of this let me know off list.

Interesting find behind the record storage, a 4" Durium Junior by the College Humor Trio.  Can't wait to listen to it...

Was the College Humor Trio related to the Magazine, "College Humor"?  I've
got one edition with an article about Coon and Sanders.

Listened to the Durium Jr last night.? As I thought when I first saw it - it's an advertisement.? But seeing College Humor Trio made me think maybe it was just the song listed, "Banks of the Wabash."? Well they sing it for a little bit then it's an advertisment for a magazine called College Humor (good call Ron L).? With the tonearm on my Stanton turntable I couldn't play the whole thing.? The inside diameter of this record is so small my tonearm isn't long enough.

A very quick search found this on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Humor_(magazine)

Also, this record is part of the listing of records for a 1931 Durium compilation - http://www.venerablemusic.com/catalog/TitleDetails.asp?TitleID=13334

I strongly recommend the three Volumes of hit of the week records on CD.  
They are the best!  True quality sound and the best part are the booklets.  
The booklets are loaded with history, not only the hit of the week history, 
but artists and tune history.  The fourth volume is forthcoming and should 
capture the remaining songs in the series.

These CDs are so great that I listen to them at work on a regular basis!

Bob, try Amazon.  There are several in the "new and used" category for 
less than the Amazon store price.

Hello everyone.
Anybody out there have a current email address for Jack Palmer. I'm hoping
he has a phone number for Bob Olson. Bob collaborated on Jack's book. Long
story short I just talked to Bob and put his new phone number in a safe
place, so safe I can't find it!

I hear this memory problem improves with age. After a while you just don't
care anymore.

Bob,

Rich is great to work with and has many great CDs to offer.  The quality is 
second to none!  You'll love the CDs they offer.  Hope you enjoy them as 
much as I do.
