Hi, Is there nobody who could help me with this? Cheers, Helmut

Update: Numbers 8 (British Electric), 18 (German Electra) and 19 (German Elektra) are sold now too.

That's the "replacement" for the No 14, the German Schellhorn.

Yes. "Steh Fanny". Odd pronunciation and understandably hard to interpret.

Update: No 14 - I just found another German Schellhorn that I can offer. It is in about the same condition as the one pictured and the title is No 162, Potpouri: Teufel tanzt dazu

Maybe I'm under the wrong heading - my question is where can I find a new needle for my Lenco L75 in Europe? It's been at least 20 yrs since I bought it with a new needle for 78's. I have a feeling I'm not getting the full sound... The thing is, I play all kind of records on it from early Caruso, to 1950-ies records. My question is which would be the ideal all-around needle? And where in Europe could I buy it? Greatful for any ideas!!! Hoagan

I found the answer - it is: Columbia 12505 - Stephanie Gavotte Thanks everyone for helping!!!

It sounds to me like "The Fanny Gavotte."

To my ear, the announcement, though indistinct, sounds as if it might be "The Spanish Gavotte," but a comparison with a recording of the same title, linked below, doesn't sound like the same piece, even allowing for the difference in the instrumentation. https://dn801309.us.archive.org/0/items/78_the-spanish-gavotte_sydney-thompsons-olde-tyme-dance-orchestra-david-caryll_gbia0509293b/THE SPANISH GAVOTTE - SYDNEY THOMPSON'S OLDE-TYME DANCE ORCHESTRA.mp3

Hi, I can't identify the title in the announcement of one of my a Columbia brown wax cylinders. It says: "???? ???? ???? played on the orchestra bell for Columbia Phonograph Company of New York and London" (mp3 file attached) I trust it is no problem for a native English speaking collector, right? Please let me know what it is. Thanks!!! Cheers, Helmut Update: In another forum, someone suggested it could be "The Spanish Gavotte", but I can't find that title in any Columbia cylinder lists I have. orchestra bell.mp3

Ready to buy what's available and playable. many thanks

Agreed. All of these record labels were already cut out when I got them. Not sure the condition of the records prior to being "Sacrificed"

It's very unique and looks really colorful and fun. I must say though I had a moment of panic when I realized how many good records were sacrificed to make those. But, that is just from a guy that transfers records and most of them were likely not in good shape to begin with. I would much rather see it like this that a bunch of old records in a landfill!. Good job Ken!

I came across close to 1000 cut out record labels. I decided to decorate a bathroom with them. I thought this would be an interesting thread to show a couple of my favorite record labels. The Vogues are place holders until I get another 100 or so labels to put up. My favorites so far are the Aeolian Vocalion and the Gennett. What are some of your favorite record labels?

I certainly will !! Thanks Again !

Update: These three are also sold now: No 4, British Lambert No 14, German Schellhorn No 23, German Gloria

Cool! … I’ve never heard of a cover so that could be homemade. But you never know. Post photos if you get it! Good luck.

Thank You very much for the lead! And It looks to be in better shape than mine as well. I didn't know it had a box cover . If the shipping isn't too bad, I'll get it! I'm in Syracuse N.Y. Cordially !! Bob

Hello, I'm seeking an interior corner lamp shade/cover for a Columbia Period Grafonola. It covers the electrical bulb that turns on when the door is opened. Attached is a photo of what it looks like. Thanks! - David

Not sure where you live, but there's a B-60 in California listed for $100 on Craigslist. Might be able to at least get some of the parts (crank and speed control). https://www.craigslist.org/view/d/lake-forest-antique-edison-phonograph/mx19UpUKHratLGDERzpRAH

Update: No 11, the French Phrynis cylinder is sold as well now.

Update: No 12, the rare French Charlus & Marechal cylinder is sold.

1906 Victrola that works, is in great shape, and comes complete with numerous albums and extra needles. it is located in Portland, Oregon, and we would like it to go to someone who will appreciate it. Please see photos.
