You need to find a person who makes models and regularly applies decals if you get any. Ogden chrome for nickel plating. John tells me they do excellent work a reasonable prices. Vicsonia is one of the adapters you can play DD records on Victor phonographs. The stylus is sapphire which wears and I have never seen a good one. Either broken or worn. Diamonds are expensive these days. I have an adapter so a diamond will fit for the Vicsonia, but I will not have any diamonds unless I order more. Duo-Vox had diamond styli. Made by Bush and Lane. The third type I have seen did not have a name, the box it came in said Victor, it was held on by a thumbscrew. https://www.ogdenchrome.com/Chrome Plating - Ogden, UT - Ogden ChromeOgden Chrome is an award-winning custom chrome plating facility located in Ogden, Utah.

I am looking for someone who does the decals or paints the corners and or gold pin striping. Items after doing such. Does someone have a referral for plating phono parts? Any comments or contacts, is appreciated. On another note: I was discussing with a phono friend about an adapter I have which fits on a Victor tone arm in place of the original, which plays diamond Discs. I have the only one I have ran across. He may be interested in obtaining such. In the event someone knows what I am referring too, or has one they are willing to part with, please let me know Thanks in advance.

If wiped off in a timely manner, water with GO JO will not hurt, but help the finish on the machine. My God, these machines are over 100 years old. Brantley ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
[Phono-L] Billy Murray on Film?
Does anyone know if Billy Murray was ever filmed? I have heard that Ted Turner owns the exclusive rights to the only footage that was taken of Billy, and that was a cameo in a short film. Anyone having any information at all would be greatly appreciated! Also, was Ada Jones or Aileen Stanley ever on film? Thanks to all that have responded to my questions over the months. Your valuable information and input are very much appreciated. Let's all continue to do our part in keeping this wonderful hobby alive and spinnin'!

Re: [Phono-L] Grafonola E-2
I strongly recommend the three Volumes of hit of the week records on CD. They are the best! True quality sound and the best part are the booklets. The booklets are loaded with history, not only the hit of the week history, but artists and tune history. The fourth volume is forthcoming and should capture the remaining songs in the series. These CDs are so great that I listen to them at work on a regular basis! Brantley Williston, S.C. ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

Re: [Phono-L] What A Beauty On Ebay!
Steve, All I can say is that they are mighty proud of their Edisons! It reminds me of a local antique shop in Aiken, S.C. Just last week, an Edison 30 without the grill went for a whopping $875.00. I guess the buyer thought he got a real bargain since $1850.00 was the original asking price, but marked through with $875.00 on the price tag. I just participated in a local museum Collector's Day by displaying about five of my machines. I got a lot of oohs and ahhs. The one thing that I encouraged future collectors to do is to join a group or club. This will help provide the knowledge to help keep from paying too much or getting ripped off. Most people don't have a clue and just buy on impulse. Take care all and help me find a Nipper please. Thanks ever so much. Brantley ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
[Phono-L] What A Beauty On Ebay!
Wow, friends! Take a look at this beauty. It's bargain priced. It states in the description, "A part is broken and missing, but does not affect the playability or beauty." At this price, one can stand a part or two missing I'm sure! Ebay item number 180396054703 PS - I've got a William and Mary that I'd sell cheap, and with lots of Diamond Discs!

Re: [Phono-L] Oxford Jr. Crapophone
Hey, I agree, but keep in mind many people buy items at yards sales, estate sales, and yes, the auction block, and have no clue what they are buying. Then, they go to that ever so friendly, ever so wholesome auction site ebay, and sell it. Many times, these seller 'don't know what they do'...They don't know a Crapophone from a Victor VI. I don't go to ebay anymore, but due to all of the commotion with this Oxford Jr. I went to see. Yea, curiosity got the old cat. Hey, that little contraption looked impressive and I believe the seller did his best to describe what he thought he was selling. Let's just believe that the buyer saw something that he liked, and bought it. Bentley ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] Oxford Jr. Crapophone
A great many buyers haven't a clue what they are buying. They've got the money, some sellers have the products, even if they are Crapolas. Bentley ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
Re: [Phono-L] An ebay seller you do not want to deal with -- recorddiva7
Again, and again, and again...EBAY IS ONLY IN IT FOR THE MONEY. They don't give a rat's you know what about the true legit buyers and true legit sellers. Just think how easy it is for someone to make some easy cash by defrauding people on ebay. They do it every day. Sure, ebay 'sugar coats' and 'soothes the stomach' with such antics as "Pay Pal is our sure way of helping anyone being cheated. It's so good, we now require it!" It's up to everyone to WEAN from ebay and stop the all of the nonsense. This is a two fold thing here: - First of all, you completely eliminate being cheated or taken by crooks. - Secondly, if all comply, ebay will go out of business Both of these is what I strive for! There are so many fellow collectors, both phonograph and record, that provide fantastic networks for all in the hobby to buy and sell within. It has been said before, the pristine machine, or the rare record located in Aunt Betsy's attic are long gone days. The networks entwined with shows and club meetings provide the greatest resource for what we in the hobby want and desire. Let's face it, ebay with all of its promises, glitter, and gleam does not provide one with the opportunity to hold, try, or truly get a feel of the item being advertised. Not prompting this, but I bet (and I'm not a betting man either!) if a poll was taken, more that few have gotten burned, cheated, or disappointed with an ebay transaction. I know being both a buyer and seller, I have been. All take care and again, wean, wean, wwen from ebay. It will do a heart, mind, and soul good!
