Re: [Phono-L] Ebay at work

[Michael and Suellen Funk]

Auction format selling has never been, is not now, and never will be a 
completely rational process.   However, as you point out, auction selling 
can be interesting and can provoke curiosity for sellers, bidders, and 
observers.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310353226375 This 
guy started of this part at $12.99 having no idea what it was worth.  It 
sold for $229.49.  So many people put things on eBay at top dollar and 
wonder why no one bids.   There was even one item that had a buy it now 
for $75 and a starting bid of $9.99.  At the first bid the buy it now went 
away and it sold for close to $100.

Re: [Phono-L] Columbia Grafonola Favorite

[Michael and Suellen Funk]

Hi Sue,
You will love your Favorite. I bought mine more than 15 years ago for $25 
dollars and it plays wonderfully. I call it my "workhorse". When my husband 
and I played records for a World War One Symposium we used the Favorite and 
the whole auditorium could hear the recordings very well. You might want to 
get the reproducer redone if it has been awhile. Since I live in the midwest 
I use George Vollema for repairs. Just Google his name.

Suellen.

Hi,

I'm new to this list and I hope you can help me! I have what I think is a
Columbia Grafonola Favorite about 1911-1920 I think, but I am not sure. It
is missing a hand crank and the hard ware piece (attaches with two screws)
that encircles the  whole where the crank goes.  I think it is in fine
operating order beyond that. Where is a good place to find these things? 
Can

I install it myself or do I need a professional to do that?

I would attach a picture here but I'm not sure if that is permitted on 
this

list. Would be happy to send a picture if you would like to see it.

Thanks so much for any advice.

Re: [Phono-L] Original or restored?

[Michael and Suellen Funk]

As with any antique or work of art, the least amount of repair/restoration 
work that is necessary is always the best course.  What is, in fact, 
necessary is a matter of professional judgment, of course.  And the 
definition of what is professional judgment is always a matter for debate.
