Re: [Phono-L] Red Banner Long Case Edison Home A
Thank-you Al! A stated, mine is H43050 which, by your information, would place it early after release of the new style cabinet and within the range specified Ron From: clockworkh...@aol.com clockworkh...@aol.com To: phono-l@oldcrank.org Sent: Sunday, December 16, 2012 4:35 AM Subject: [Phono-L] Red Banner Long Case Edison Home A Hello Michael: You will find the red banner range of the Model A 'long case' Home to be from the introduction of the 'New Cabinet' style to H52234 which is the highest I have confirmed. By H52251 the black banner has been used and the red is history. I have seen a seller on eBay with a refinished Home B cabinet using a modern red banner decal declare the machine to be an all original rare and highly desirable red banner Home. Again, this makes me want to scream at the computer... Regards, Al PS: The 'New Style Cabinet' came in just before 41000. So, about 12,000 red banner long case Home As were made. -Original Message- From: Michael F.

While we're at it gang, I'd love to know the range of serial numbers within which the early red banner (originally placed on the lid) appeared on the front of the Home case. Michael K.

The Edison Phonograph Monthly announced the end of the banner decals on all models in the September 1906 issue. Taking into account the set-up for that issue occurring in August, about the closest I can estimate is that the Home lost the banner decal around serial No.210,000 or a bit earlier depending on how long the change had been in effect when it was announced in the EPM that ...all models are now being sent out... with the new decal. A safe range would probably be between 205,000 and 210,000.

Re: [Phono-L] Vic O record cabinet
I actually ended up speaking with that individual. The cabinet sold along with a Victor O he had with it i.e. package deal. So, from what I understood, it was basically a record cabinet in mahogany that fit.

I have a catalog for The Cabinet That Matches and it shows record cabinet for models 1 through 6 but not the O. But that does not mean that they don't exist. A few years ago I bought a record cabinet at Union that I hoped was for a Vic O. The cabinet had trim around the top so I knew it was made for a specific machine. When I returned home with the cabinet I was disappointed that the O did not fit. Thanks to our friend, Harvey Kravitz, I was able to complete a Col BZ and it fits perfectly. I have excellent copies of the Cabinet that Matches that I am happy to mail for $7 including postage. It's a great reprint that shows the Victor Junior through the rare Victrola XX and Auxetophone as well as flowered and brass belled Victor horns.

Re: [Phono-L] Victor O cabinet
Recently I saw an ad for a Victor O record cabinet. I didn't know there was a specific cabinet style for the O. That brings a few questions. Are there record cabinets that correspond to each Victor model O - 6? Specifically, what does the O cabinet look like? Does anyone have one they can take a picture of? Finally, if this item actually exists, which I assume it does, does anyone have one they would be willing to sell? Thank-you! Ron ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org

[Phono-L] in the news
I'm not sure how many on the list were familiar with Frank Zymunt here in the Chicago area. He has been an acquaintance of mine for some years. He has been quite influencial in the coin op business for some 25 years. I purchased a few machines from him including a nice 1950's Coca Cola vending machine. Well, I found out he died recently. I was caught by surprise by this one. He had such a vast collection in his home. I estimated it at around $1 million in my mind. Apparently, an auction was held in PA and the final tally of receipts was roughly $942,000.00 I am not sure if that was everything...whether his family retained anything or what, but whoever, purchased machines at this auction obtained some very rare coin op machines and phongraphs, music machines, etc.. I've seen some pretty nice collections and heard about others, but it would be hard to believe that anyone could have challenged the scope, size, rarity, etc of what Frank Sr. had. He opened his home to me many times and was quite helpful even though he was clearly quiet/reserved about his collection. The security around his home was pretty intense! It always amazes me when someone like this passes and leaves such a substantial estate. It almost seems like the collection should remain together and be put in some type of museum rather than broken apart. However, when does the average guy get the chance to pick up a nice Eclipse :0 Ron Chicago ___ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
[Phono-L] wanted Brass Orthophonic reproducer
I just picked up a nice VV 8-9 this weekend and am really enjoying it! I have it all polished up and playing some of my favorite records. This is a late model, but I'd really like to purchase a Brass Ortho. Reproducer for it. Does anyone have one available in nice condition? I would also consider a nice standard tear drop (later) version if the gold is nice and it plays well. Please contact me direct with any offers.
