I don't know what took her so long, but Karen just now got back to me with
the Credenza info. The ID plate simply says Credenza for the model, and the
serial number she saw is 34495. The tonearm/platter is situated in the
center of the motorboard. And it was sold by J. W. Yenkins & Sons Music
Well hey, if anyone calls you goofy for celebrating Thom's b-day, just tell

parties for his RECORDS." Yep, that'd be me. Sure, they didn't involve
cake and balloons, and often the host was the only participant, but th

Ya know, some people would call an annual ritual like that goofy, but we phono
collectors are a different bunch, and proud of it. I think your ritual sounds
great. I will have to decide what to do myself...Maybe make his favorite

Thanks, Walt. This is exactly what I was hoping to learn.

Well friends, as I'm sure most of us know Feb. 11 is Edison's birthday. It

machines and to enjoy listening to "Lest We Forget" and "Greetings From The

But note that he advocates the use of glycerine to "rejuvenate" the wooden
horn - and that glycerine is also used on pianos in the same way, but by only
the worst, shoddiest tuners. It's a cheap, quick way to ruin wood.

Thanks, Bruce! I should've known to check Tim's site for some info! I
guess I was hoping for a simple answer. I'll learn better one of these
days. :-)
Gratefully,

How wonderful that you are planning to do that for your good friends. As in
the pictures, you will note that these are two separate examples of the
Credenza. The first one is a later two door model and the 2nd one appears to
be the earlier two door model. These differences, along with the placin
Here is a wonderful website with great research my Mr. Wakeman that will
give you the history of the Credenza and the various changes that were made,
including the positioning of the tone arm and the change to the pot metal
reproducer.

I have some friends who found a beautifully restored Credenza in Arizona a
few years ago... Karen's eyes watered the second she saw the machine in the
antiques shop, and that was all it took to sell it to Tony. They were very
