As expected, the recent Stanton's auction was an exciting experience. There were many high end machines there that brought a wide variety of bidding excitement. The Edison Idelia was very impressive but brought only $20K when the presale expectations were much higher. The Edison Class M in the upright cabinet only went for a little over $10K. Music boxes were a bit soft on prices. The very nice Reginaphone went for around $4K. Many of the front mount Victors were in the $1,200 to a high of around $2,500 for the MS. If anyone has a chance to take in an auction at Stanton's, I would highly recommend it. I ended up with three more Victors for my collection along with a nice record cabinet, Edison Standard, Babson Brothers flowered cylinder horn, and many small items. One of the Victors was a Rigid Arm R. The arm has been resoldered where it attaches to the piece in the back bracket and the finish has been buffed off almost completely. The anodizing on the back bracket is weak but visible. My question is, Does anyone know anyone that restores the anodized finish on parts? Is it hard to do yourself? Thanks in advance for any advice.
