Re: [Phono-L] Little Wonder Phono problems

Ron, I doubt you and Mike are the only people left on this list. But I’ve only run into problems like yours twice. One was a Busy Bee disc phono. I did find a problem with binding in the governor gearing, but I think a weak spring was the real problem. Also, my Edison Opera stopped working after

Re: [Phono-L] Edison E

The picture that Randy posted looks identical to the Model F pictured in the Frow book. It says the E had a side mount carriage arm with large opening for a Model N reproducer, whereas the F had top mount carriage arm with a small opening for C, H, R, or S reproducers. It says the Model E had a

nd it is correct for the rare Edison Spruce horns to have a blonde finish inside, and a dark finish outside. Randy and another collector agree with me that this is an original horn. Jim Nichol Sent from my iPad > On Mar 16, 2017, at 3:42 AM, Jim Nichol via Phono-L > wrote: > > Is

Re: [Phono-L] Last Edison factory gets a reprieve

Charles Edison ran it until 1957. Then he sold it to McGraw Electric, and the merger was called McGraw Edison. As I recall, McGraw was a big admirer of Edison and it was him who made the offer to buy. Of course, Charles was doing other things while he was running his father’s company, such as Se

On YouTube there are 3 guys that have their own channels: phonophan, Phono Phan, and Phonophan58. So I guess it’s not that unique an idea for a nickname. Jim Nichol > On Mar 3, 2016, at 8:39 PM, SN Medved via Phono-L > wrote: > > Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. > > Charles Cale
