here is a friend of mines comment on a new move by ebay any one else care to comment """"""This is simply the text (below, in blue) of a quick message I sent to eBay on their "Contact Us" website option. Earlier today I spent a half-hour on-line with an eBay helper person, trying to get an answer to my question. It took "Vickie" almost 30 minutes to verify that the problem could not be resolved. Now I am sharing this info with friends who use eBay. I was disappointed to learn that a useful feature has been eliminated. When watching or bidding on items, there were formerly several buttons from which to choose, including "delete from list" or "compare" or "add a note." I used the comment button to add my thoughts, like whether I was sniping the item; my maximum potential bid; real name and past satisfsaction of/with the seller; suggested value of a specific record in guide books; recent sale prices of a similar item; whether I already own 1 or more examples; person or friend who has been seeking this item; errors or omissions in the seller's description; etc. Just another unfortunate move by eBay. I am not surprised that their revenue and user satisfasction are both declining. """""""

I have searched the web for information, but found very little.Is there any information out there where I am not looking. One picture in the last Fabrizio-Paul book. The reproducer on this one seems wrong. It has a nickel plated cover where the rest of the phonograph is painted. Would like to see an original. Also, what would be the best way to clean the paint from smoke and dirt?

I would start with Kotton Cleanser -but do not use paper towels, rags or steel wool-use cotton balls. put some on a cotton ball and use a circular motion. do not try to clean every bit on the first pass. Do the entire item then wipe down with mineral spirts.Let dry and repeat. If this does not clean it up in the manner you are looking for let me know.
