Re: [Phono-L] Orthophonic Reproducer Gaskets question...

Yes, I believe they are neoprene, and they are .02 thick. Id have to go back and look at the price guide to see what they cost. Considering what was left of the old gaskets, and putting in the new ones, and doing the bearing job on it, it sounds great. It's amazing the amount of sound generated

[Phono-L] Columbia Englewood Musicalphone

I have an Englewood Musicalphone made by Columbia. It uses a horn similar to a Busybee Grand. I need some information on the horn and elbow. The outside of the horn is blue with a sunburst on the inside, from what I was told. I'd like to know what the color scheme of the inside sunburst pattern

Re: [Phono-L] Orthophonic Reproducer Gaskets question...

I know what you mean about the little Orthos. I like the sound of my Granada, and it does not even have the folded horn! (I am looking for a new home for the Granada though, in case anyone desires it. The Granada lives in North Attleborough, MA) Ron -Original Message- From:

Re: [Phono-L] Columbia Englewood Musicalphone

Hi I have a Musicalphone. If you can get on the talking machine forum go to page no 28. Go to number 30 and click on it. My machine is there. It's the way I got it from charley hunnel. Hope that helps. harvey kravitz harveykrav...@yahoo.com wrote: I have an Englewood Musicalphone made

[Phono-L] O/T: Capehart 414N-1

I realize that electronic phonos are a bit off-topic for this forum, but for those of you who can really appreciate a fine Capehart, here's a rare find: A 414N-1 with the VERY hard to find 41E-2 flipover changer: eBay Item #150426006960 This is the last version of the 41E changer that has the

I'm with you all the way, Greg. I'll possibly bid on this thing, but I'll most certainly get sniped out to outer space, and lose it. There are just too many points of profit here for the hogs that look for them. Lately, I have bid on a couple og things that might be nice, but was sniped far beyond

Re: [Phono-L] O/T: Capehart 414N-1

Greg, I have noted that you and several members like the Capehart units . I have seen a few of them here in Arizona from time to time.-I know nothing about them. There is one for sale now on Craigslist a model # B-1002-F. Owner says that it has been in his family for 60 years. He has original

Re: [Phono-L] O/T: Capehart 414N-1

Abe, the Capehart radio/phonos made from the mid 1930s to about 1950 were among the very finest, most exclusive models available in the USA. With very few exceptions such as the D-22 and the QU-8 which actually used a Capehart 16E changer and the postwar Berkshire series, ALL of which are

Re: [Phono-L] Columbia Englewood Musicalphone

Allen, I guess I wasn't clear. From what I can see in the picture of the Englewood Musicalphone in the first compendium book, the horn looks like a cylinder horn. The special elbow fits on the small end of the horn. Then it fits into the Analyzing reproducer. it looks similar to the elbow that

Re: [Phono-L] O/T: Capehart 414N-1

After reading the messages below I had to see what this looked like. I must admit that I have never seen this model before. Once I opened the item number I was in love!! Anybody that would do harm to this unit is crazy. It is a shame that people would do this to such piece, but we have all seen it

Re: [Phono-L] Orthophonic Reproducer Gaskets question...

I've rebuilt a couple of the suitcase soundboxes, but I removed the sound-deadening cover and cloth. Then I added some spare bearing covers and screwed them on (since the covered version doesn't have them.) I have a Credenza and a 10-50 and only had these really nice 5Bs that I got cheap, so

Re: [Phono-L] Coin machine or jukebox needles?

There was no shaping of the end of the wire on Victor Tungstones. I just confirmed that by looking at a couple of NOS Tungstones that I have. The wire was sheared to essentially a flat end shape. That documentation on the net that shows Victor drawings of how the needles were made shows
