[Phono-L] Columbia 122 angle correct?
Hi Folks, Some one I know with a Columbia 122 portable pointed out the angle at which the reproducer leans at the end of the arm. I didn't think anything of it until I compared it with one of my HMVs. Is there some problem with the Columbia or is this an inherent flaw with the make/model? I've posted the photos on the page below (it should work with a copy-and-paste): http://keithwright.ca/columbia122/columbiaport122%20angle.html Thanks, Keith _ ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] Looking for a 78 record.
You got my curiosity up and I googled. I found a version of "Riding on the Elevated Railroad" by Frankie Wallace. There is an excerpt of it here: http://www.themadmusicarchive.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=36054 It was played on the Dr. Demento radio show of Feb. 1, 2009. http://dmdb.org/cgi-bin/plinfo.pl?drd09.0201.html You can purchase a download of the show for $2.00 here: http://drdemento.com/online.html?c=e2&s=s It was a show he did on the subject of trains. I hope this was of some help to youand hopefully it's the version you heard back in 1960 on the jukebox.

Re: [Phono-L] Columbia 122 angle correct?
It should be straight up and down as with your HMV. Beyond hurting the sound, this can harm the records. From my limited experience, the problem with the portable could be a wrong tonearm. Raising it at the other end will correct the angle. I had to do that with my General Phonograph Model E, which had the wrong arm, by making a circular disk out of wood like a large, fat washer. Also, by the way, the tip of the needle should swing over the center of the spindle (for the correct tracking angle with respect to the groove). If the tonearm is too long, this can result in the needle being too straight up and down, which will create too much drag and also hurt the records. I saw a Victor pamphlet that said the ideal angle of the needle with respect to the groove was 60 degrees.

[Phono-L] Looking for a 78 record.
In 1960 a friend had restored a Wurlitzer model 1500 and invited me over to see it. The first record he played intrigued me with its lyrics and catchy tune. It was called "Riding on the Elevated Railroad". I have looked for 50 years for this tune again and just recently found the lyrics on a Google search locating them on some forum. The original was written by minstrel Sam Devere in 1878 and a variant released by Winfred (Wendy) L. Holt in the 1930s according to the forum. It was most likely sung to the then popular tune "Riding on a Railroad Car" The record I heard must have been a later release most likely in the 40s as It sounded like an electronically recorded 78 with very good bass. I sure would like to have at least a copy of the audio if not an actual 78 like the one I heard 50 years ago. Any help to this end appreciated. I'll try to post link to the Lyrics. Don in Iowa.
