Hi, this is Ron Cowen, a phoho collector and writer, who plans to write an article on the first use of records in 1908 among the two presidential candidates. First, although I know the records have been converted to CD, can someone authoratatively tell me whether they can legally be posted at the web site of a major magazine without any copywright issue? (I know songsheets lose their original copywright after 75 years but didn't know if this appplied to records or not.) Second, aside from what the Edison monthly told about the records, if any one has any written accounts describing the making of the records, their impact on the campaign, how they were viewed by the public and the meidia, I'd be grateful. How did Columbia records get into the act--I saw there was one record of Bryan made for Columbia that was recently on ebay. Thanks, Ron Cowen you contact me at rco...@sciserv.org 301/681-3053 home 202/872-5119 work or by mail Ron Cowen 10109 Gates Ave Silver Spring,MD 20902 dea, anFrom: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org on behalf of srsel...@aol.com Sent: Fri 4/6/2007 9:14 AM To: Phono-l@oldcrank.org Subject: [Phono-L] The Stanton Nipper Auction Next Weekend - Who's going?
Next weekend is the Sitter Collection of Nipperabilia and other phono items at Stantons. I wish I could go. It should be fun. But my travel budget is limited to the ARSC Conference next month. So who's planning to go? Now a thought. I know the Rolfs usually post photos when they go to these events - and I think that's great - but I'm wondering if anyone has thought of videotaping the auction so we could see the items as well as see - and hear - our fellow collectors! Collections like this come up rarely and it would be great to document it. I don't know if Steve Stanton - who I've never met (I've never been to a Stanton auction) - would find this objectionable but I would think it would help PROMOTE his auctions. So.. I'm throwing the idea out to any of you with a camcorder who are going. (I tried to contact Nippethead Peter Liebert - who did a great job of capturing the CAPS presentation by Dr. Demento - but his web site is down.) Not sure if he's going or not. Anyway, I'm posting this on Phonolist and Phono-L and maybe it'll peak someone's interest.

I need the two knobs from this machine. One slides the inner sound modulator panel open and closed; the other opens the front panel of the machine. Anyone ever seen them? Or anyone got Howard Hazelcorn's email address? Check out my yahoo photo album to see the machine. Thanks!

The pictures on the right appear to be your IV with its' original finish. The ones on the left look like the machine after stripping both the horn and case. Why didn't you leave it alone? The original looks pretty good.
