Ignorance, a lack of knowledge is understandable, failure to do research is sad. I always thought of the Antique Roadshow as entertainment, not eductional. For education, there are many fine books, eg. Fabrizio Paul,at least 7, Robin Joan Rolf, at least 2 and a Library on Allen Koenigsbergs website. Aaron

[Phono-L] Phono collection
Art: Thea I are waiting for your return visit. I can't remember exactly when we had our last visit in Brooklyn. But I do remember we all had a good time. I think you will like the changes in items I added and the display. I added a 600 sq. ft. extension just for the collection. But several choice item's have spilled over into the living room. Thea said if I keep buying I'll end up collecting rooms, not Music Machines. There was a two page article about my collection in yesterdays Star Ledger. If you send me your mailing address, I'll mail a hard copy. I tried making a copy on my printer but it just doesn't reprint well. Aaron

[Phono-L] Re: Phonograph Chop Shop - The Edison Wrecking Yard -
My experience with Bob Fulwilder was opposite. He always sent me correct parts in a tmely fashion. The last thing he sent was a gear for my Opera, and because he was very late in sending it, he sent a note of apology and no charge for the gear. It is almost like we were dealing with two different people. Aaron
[Phono-L] paypal and ebay, was Re: eBay Scam Listing
Paypal has some funny rules that don't make alot of sense to us on the outside. I used them to send $2000.00 to Australia, they had the $2000.00 from my Bank Account, they would not give the man in Australia more than $500.00 per month, although he owed them no money, and I told them it's my money and I want them to give it to him. They refused, they instead returned the money to my bank account, and I then had to do a bank transfer without paypal. I tried to understand their explanation, but couldn't. It seems they were trying to protect me from myself. In my nearly eighty years I never needed their protection, and still don't. Aaron

Thanks for sending the link to the German Phono Fair.

Even looks like the same people we have here. Aaron -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

For what it's worth, here they are: Edison A-80 Serial numbers believed to start at 0 (late 1912) with wooden grilles. Documented numbers from #2872 - #4219 (#4219 has metal grille, as shown on page 42 of Frow's Edison Disc Phonographs. Machine pictured was completed December 19, 1914.) Edison B-80 Serial numbers began between #4219 and #6175 (late Dec.1914/Jan.1915). Documented numbers from #6175 - #16824. (All B-80s documented in this survey have wooden grilles.) That's it. If you have one of these models that varies from the number ranges or grille descriptions, please share it and we'll revise this little chart. Thanks again to all who contributed information!

Any sense of humor is worthwhile. I find it hard to concieve anyone paying more than a few bucks for one. At $350.00 I would have to have it framed and hang it on a wall. It would also need a story such as Ben Franklin hung it on his kite in a lightning storm. Aaron
