[Phono-L] eBay
It is certainly worth investigating. I'll do some research work this weekend. At the moment, I'm working feverishly to get the chat room operational for this evening!

It has been tried before, with sites such as Intertique Classifieds or Phono-L Classified, but as far as I know these were not very successful. (Comments Loran?). But times have changed and with all the dissatisfaction with eBay, maybe another attempt should be made by someone who is web savy. A weekly phono on-line newsletter listing phono items for sale, wanted, or for trade would really be nice for the hobby. Ray
[Phono-L] Chat Tonight
The new, improved Phono-L chat room is up and running! Our scheduled live chat is this evening, at 6:00 p.m PST. The web address is: http://www.oldcrank.org/chat/ It's a bit bare bones at the moment but it's functional and much improved over the old chat program. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone there!

Message-ID: blu120-f15881be7af8765e5bbef9fa7...@phx.gbl Although this may be a little off-topic, I recently came into possession of a cache of old recordings made by my uncle in 1946. These are transcriptions of the voices of my family 62 years ago. Pretty cool. He also recorded some radio programs including a game between the Yankees the Brooklyn Dodgers. In addition to The Record Disc Corp., there are also transcription recordings on National Recording Disc, Melodisc, Century Radio Co., The Recordisc Corp., Philco Safety Record, and the Wilcox-Gay Corp. Some are recorded at 78 rpm, but most are 33 1/3. In addition to getting more information about this whole recording process, I need to solve a problem. The discs are recorded on different substrates. Paper, aluminum, and some type of magnetic iron or steel. The most valuable recordings are on the magnetic steel records. In addition to my many victrolas, I have two fully functional turntables with modern magnetic cartridges. I cannot play the discs. The cartridge gets sucked flat onto the steel records, compressing the cantilever stylus by magnetic attraction. So. How do I play these recordings? My only solution is to find an old record player with an inexpensive crystal cartridge. Any other ideas? Any insight into this process is greatly appreciated.
