Re: [Phono-L] Victor VE8-12X tonearm mounting bracket
I once had an electric credenza with a bad hum in the motor. I found a small motor guy who diagnosed that it had “dried out “. He had a solution he swabbed on several times that permeated the windings and fixed the hum. I’m like Sgt. Schultz on the details. “I know nothing!” LeRoy On Mon, Nov 19, 2018 at 12:25 PM Ron L'Herault via Phono-L < phono-l@oldcrank.org> wrote: > The Victor book gives some tips on reducing hum, such as checking the > plate tightness, and adding felt between cabinet and motorboard.

[Phono-L] Horn connector for playing an iPod through a cylinder machine
I followed vinyl vision's idea for iPod into machine. I just taped the speaker on the turnback crook of my Credenza. It sounds great! Can't see using any other internal horn machine, except for a fun novelty. I'll probably find a ruined ortho reproducer to put the speaker on so I can switch to authentic needle playing. But it would be a hoot to head out to the beach with the speaker and iPhone attached to a cygnet horn… tuned to a heavy metal station, maybe! grin LeRoy For $11 and a donor no-name reproducer, you can make one yourself. Remove the old diaphragm and needle bar and JB Weld this to the reproducer and Voila A Victor MP3 player. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Veho-Portable-Speaker-for-iPod-iPhone-MP3-VSS001360/14066650 Better yet, don't use a reproducer, just a repro replacement rubber adapter for a Victor...

I made a Tizit for my Edison that allows me to play my iPod or other audio source through my Cygnet horn. It really sounds great and you can play not only Edison mp3's but ANY genre of music. I don't need any more electronic speakers in my house or docking stations, so I thought why not use what I like to look at? Most of us have a cylinder player or two of some type. It's great when you want to listen to some favorites, but don't want to crank and change cylinders. No mods to the machine are necessary and when you want to go back to original operation, just remove the Tizit and replace it with the original. Is this a viable idea? If so, what price range? www.mp3tizit.com Thanks, Curt ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org

[Phono-L] Crapo-phones(three) needed!
The set designer for the movie The Book of Eli needs three identical crapo-phones for the movie. I directed her to the ECWORLD-IMPORTS eBoy store but she says they aren't shipping them anymore. Since she wants three, I'm guessing one or all will be sacrificed to mayhem of some sort.(yeah!) Even if the effort, delay and expense in finding three identical authentic open horn machines was not a problem, I would not want to contribute to destroying real machines. Let me know if anyone has any leads... I'm sure she'll pay reasonable prices to make her director?s effort work.

[Phono-L] Victor IX
Retail is hell!! Depending on condition and finish (and how full Ron Haring?s trailer Is grin), I can get a VV-IX for $150 to $250. I recondition the soundbox, polish the hardware, clean, lube, grease the internals, clean and minimally recondition the finish(I have one on the project list to refinish to as close to original as I can get). In my antique mall space, I ask $350 mahogany to $425 oak. I advise the customer of Victor Data Book information and what I have done to the machine. They also get 25% of the sales price value in ?free? records. A VV-VI is priced at $275 to $300 and a VV-IV $175 to $225. These prices are before discounts and sales. They don?t fly away, but are steady sales. LeRoy On 7/27/08 3:28 PM, Walt waltsommers at comcast.net wrote: I know of no general antique shop that offers an antique phonograph worthy of the often enormous price tag they paste to them. To see a price tag of $600 on a VV-IX in one of the antique malls usually means that the dealers have browsed the internet and seized on information like this very message giving no thought to the context.
