Thank you. No, nothing has been done to the reproducer. A friend of mine. an Othophonic specialist, did put some grease around connections at the base of the tone arm where it connects with the horn to block any sound from escaping before it enters the exponential horn. At some point, I need to use the same or similar technique on the sections of the horn as well. Everyone who here's it for the first time, marvels at the splendid sound these Orthophonic Acoustic Phonographs put out.

I'd rather listen to this than many electrical transcriptions/restorations I've heard!

I notice that when you play these electrical records on the machines they are designed for, you really do get the full idea of how they are supposed to sound. I have played some Orthophonic 78s with a Shure 78S and with an early WE magnetic and the older one seems to extract the most high frequency response, and the bass is good too, I run this into an 01a tube and then to the digital recorder,they sound fuller than with the 78S going through Telefunken 12ax7s. These Acoustic machines though, really are remarkable, especially when you look at the diaphragm design, and the outer part flexes like a woofer, for the bass, and the center is domed and has the phase plug just like a tweeter, Some very expensive speakers have domed aluminum tweeter diaphragms and the shape really is not much different even today. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live?: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/howitworks?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_t1_allup_howitworks_012009 From [email protected] Thu Jan 15 19:43:10 2009 From: [email protected] ([email protected]) Date: Thu Jan 15 19:43:22 2009 Subject: [Phono-L] Edsion S-19 New old stock!!

It is still in the original crate which has never been opened. I wonder how many machines like this there are left out there. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/clt/990912323.html
