Re: [Phono-L] RCA horn driver needed
The drivers are rebuildable if you like to rewind coils. Another option is to use 1920's era headphones as drivers.

Re: [Phono-L] Never thought it would happen to me
There is a fellow keeping a data base of Victors. You can ad yours by going to http://www.victor-victrola.com Charlotte aka Waves http://www.wavesllc.com On Wed, Oct 21, 2009 at 11:16 PM, Douglas Houston cdh...@earthlink.netwrote: Of course, I'm not there to see it, but my first guess would be a buildup of grime from all those years. The dining room set here was bought by my mother in 1925. Our house in Detroit had been heated with coal, as were many others in those days. On the chairs, on the top crossbar, the top surface was black, and I assumed that it was the finish. For the first time ever, I went over the dining set with Go-Jo, and the black finish on the top bar got gooey, and wiping it away, a nice walnut finish was exposed. At the time I bought my VV-XVIII, it needed a good going over to remove grime, but wasn't as bad as some cabinets I've seen. I went further and flowed the original shellac finish with alcohol. Except for some areas, the finish is as new. I wonder if anyone is keeping a log of serial numbers on these phonographs. I have the impression that all of the jobs came down the line, and were consecutively numbered, with no special notation for such special treatments as electric motor, circassian walnut, or other woods. One interesting little detail: one of our phono collectors in this area has a XVIII Electric drive. The cabinet has a cute decoratice cover over the crank hole. Evidently, all cabinets were drilled for the crank. My XVIII has mahogany finish, and spring motor; a cheapie. The serial number is 1277. The name plate on the motor board is the copper one. A few years ago, one was on eBay, with a serial number around 1309, and it had an aluminum name plate. So, it appears that, somewhere between mine and the one for auction, Victor changed name plates. At present, I'm getting my Victor Electrola 12-25 put together, checking everything carefully before I put power to the amplifier. I did the Go-Jo treatment to the cabinet. The finish on it is a mirror. I've never seen a cabinet that old, in that perfect shape. I'm anxious to have it going. I also have a 12-15 Electrola, and it's dynamite.

Needless to say, the novelty of seeing this visitor in my music room hasn't begun to lose its luster, and the XVIII will soon regain its. I thought of Go-Jo as well, at least as a first step. The black residue is dense here and there, but it must also be darkening the finish even where it doesn't appear to be built up to opaqueness.

In general, most of the membership are in areas that are either more populated, or nearer to denser metropolitan areas than here in Santa Fe, NM. Roll back the calendar a few decades, and my region is pretty sparsely populated, with more ranching than any kind of manufacturing or other work that would draw a larger population.

[Phono-L] Ebay payment request
I have accepted Western Union form overseas buyers and it has worked. for me. You are e-mailed a number to go and get your money at a Western Union outlet. You can get cash rather than a check from a legitimate Western Union transaction. You need to bring ID with you. You should decline when the buyer wants to send you more than the amount for the item and asks for a partial refund.

Even after the funds are in your account. This is also true of wire transfers. International money Orders are the fool proof way but are not available from all countries. You could check with the USPS. As long as everything is on the up and up there is no problem with Western Union. Money orders can be forged though. The trick is after about a week after purchase you can check if they are valid. For $50.00 I would not worry much but as the size of the potential loss goes up, the care goes up exponentially. Robert Wright wrote: Rich is right. It should be noted, however, that when the scams are afoot, it's almost always them getting YOU to Western Union them some funds (that you will surely never see again). So if the buyer wants to pay by Western Union, chances are likely it's perfectly fine. The only international transactions I've done (with expesive items, yet) have been this way, and you can get confirmation of the funds as 'in your account' before you ship the item.
