Portland seems to be the place to find an Auxetophone.
In addition to the two that surfaced a few years ago,
one sold this weekend. I believe I was second in line
but another collector scraped up the asking price of
$2500. I don't know if it had the blower assembly
but the seller said the electronics did not work. It
had the large mahogany horn and had been refinished.
I don't know who bought it but he's one lucky
collector!

Someone contacted me for information about a Meteor phonograph they have,
and I can't help them. It seems to me someone on this list was asking
about that very phonograph in the past few weeks. Anyone know anything I
could pass along to this person? Thanks!

Made by the Meteor Car Co. of Elyria, Ohio -- an ambulance and hearse
manufacturer. They also sold records under the Meteor label that had the
odd convention of listing the title of the B-side on the A- side along with
the A-side title, and vice-versa for the B-side. Meteors were produced
after the expiration of the fundamental Victor patents (after 1917) using
generic motors and sound equipment in Meteor-made cabinets. Rather
unremarkable machines sonically, appearance-wise, and in construction, but a
neat name and logo, and kinda cool because of the car company connection.
Not very valuable, I'm afraid.
