I'm helping someone to find parts for a Columbia AH second style. I have an original reproducer that I can put a repro needle bar on (unless someone has an original laying around) and he may have found the crank but he still needs the horn support parts, i.e., the curved arm that attaches to the c

If your crank is front of center, the control switch is on the top, and the motor is horizontally mounted, then it is the earliest AH style. Bruce - Original Message - From: "Bruce Mercer" To: "Antique Phonograph List" Sent: Wednesday, July 30, 2008 3:34 PM Subject

Guys, I will be happy to take some pics but it will be a day or two. I do not know the difference between early and late as I am mainly an Edison collector. I'd be happy to see some photos of one vs. late. It has round turned columns on the corners, ten inch turntable, an oxidized copper handle

Was someone on the group looking for an AH? Somehow the message never made it down to my reader. I have one I bought in the late 60's wrapped in a newspaper dated Dec. 1923. I bought it and the Edison C-19 that replaced it. It had spent all those years in a cedar closet. I displayed it for a whi

Do not grease/oil a fiber gear. You may be able to adjust the gears a bit to contact in a different area, which may reduce the noise. Otherwise, new nylon replacements are available. Regards, Loran On Feb 14, 2005, at 5:55 PM, diamondisk...@aol.com wrote: > > In a message dated 2/14/2005 1:01:
