Re: [Phono-L] Charlie Hummel on TV

2013-02-10 Thread Aph4990
I agree with you.  First of all--there was not enough of  Charlie Hummel's 
collection at all. And second of all--his collection should  never have been 
combined with the creepy collections of weird people and   announced by a 
ghoul.  I wonder if he knew that the "science" channel  was going to 
associate his collection with crazy people.  Or am I just  being a crazy 
phonograph 
collector myself?

[Phono-L] ORO PHONE ORO-TONE Reproducers for sale low price

2013-02-10 Thread Steven Medved




http://www.ebay.com/itm/ORIGINAL-RARE-ORO-PHONE-ORO-TONE-Reproducer-Phonograph-IN-BOX-GRAMOPHONE-/121060138214
 I have two Oro tone reproducers, one sounds good, the other one does not.  One 
has the set screw (common thread) in the throat one does not.  They are held 
together with rivets, I do not have the time to rebuild the one that does not 
sound good.  I have no use for them. If anyone is interested I will sell them 
both for $15 which will include shipping.  They weigh 12.8 ounces so they will 
cost me around $7.50 to ship priority mail in a 7x7x6 box. I just want to get 
rid of them.  If you are interested and think $15 is too high make me an offer 
that will include shipping.  I paid $40 or more for both of them so I am not 
making money on them.  I hate to throw them out. Thanks, Steve

I don't have broadcast TV anymore, I have Roku, the video streaming player with 
tons of channels. I was able to see the episode of Oddities with Charley on it, 
I had no idea how gigantic his collection was. I read a Daily Mail article from 
2011 in which a guy died, and when they went to go through his estate 
discovered 
he had 300 phonographs. They thought that might be the largest collection 
known. 
I would say definitely not.

[Phono-L] Introducing the Edison Damberola 1

2013-02-10 Thread john robles
Actually it is a joint venture between Edison and some British gramophone 
concern. I found it at a garage sale. Believe it or not I am still considering 
buying it. It works, but the stylus needs replacement. Everyone needs one freak 
in their collection.
