Re: [Phono-L] Gregg Cline Decals & How To Professionally Install Them

Regarding recent questions about Gregg Cline Decals: Jon Kelm did an excellent "how to" demo on applying them correctly at our last meeting in March. I have posted the video on our website: www.carolinaphonosociety.com Jon demonstrates how to apply striping decals to a Victor IV back bracket and

[Phono-L] Amberola grills & cloth question

Phono List: What is the history regarding the grills & cloth, say on amberola 30s however, it may be applicable to all Amberolas. Often I find old grills with bits of cloth on them, both wood an medal. So.. Did they originally come with cloth or is that a "reproduction" innovation.

Thank you for the pictures, looks to be a great machine. I will pass on it for now. If it doesn't sell, maybe I will see it at Union and change my mind. Regards, Joe From: rkeuler To: Antique Phonograph List Sent: Sunday, April 22, 2012 3:08 AM Subject: [P

Re: [Phono-L] The Automaton at the Franklin Instutute - The DRAWING!

Excellent point, Jim. Thanks for the link. Yes, if you scroll down and click on the Chinese Temple drawing, you get a pretty good representation (although in fairly low resolution) of how the drawing compares now to Steve's in 1959. The drawings on that web page were all made from the current

Re: [Phono-L] The Automaton at the Franklin Instutute - The DRAWING!

Andy, why not ask Steve to post your drawing along with his? Also, is your drawing similar to the one on this page? http://www.fi.edu/learn/sci-tech/automaton/automaton.php?cts=instrumentation Jim Nichol On Apr 22, 2012, at 5:13 PM, Andrew Baron wrote: > Hi Steve and anyone who may be interest

Hi Steve and anyone who may be interested in seeing a current example of the automaton's "Chinese Temple". I've given up for the time being, trying to do this on line. I would be happy to send an email privately to anyone who would like to see what this same drawing looks like today. Steve, I

Re: [Phono-L] The Automaton at the Franklin Instutute - The DRAWING!

Fascinating, Steve, to see this, and the 1959 date makes it even more meaningful. The automaton is capable of doing much cleaner work today. A number of conditions are contributing to the deterioriation of the drawing quality in this image, which makes it a very valuable document of the automa

Re: [Phono-L] The Automaton at the Franklin Instutute

Thanks Steve ~ The man of parts article has some inaccuracies (as much print / on-line media does). The Oscar video is something that I have mixed feelings about, but I'm glad to see that they at least made the costume loose. A comment about yours regarding putting in a quarter -- You are remem

I was able to dig up the two articles on the Automaton from the Philadelphia Inquirer that I mentioned: First the guy I mentioned who maintained it for many years: _A man of parts._ (http://www.philly.com/philly/news/science/2020_A_man_of_parts_.html?viewAll=y) and then this
