NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
I wish we had a link on the board to post pictures of our machines. I know I would like to see what treasures the members have. How about it Moo?

Can you elaborate on what you mean by a link?

Re: NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
Why Jeff???. You can do a "Featured Phonograph" on a machine you own. Just look at past "feature's" (the next one will be No.90) and follow the rough format. Then, just go for it. We would all love to see what machine's you have Amberola.... .Amberola wrote:I wish we had a link on the board to post pictures of our machines.

Re: NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
I was just thinking about other boards I visit. I also collect and play guitar. On one of the Les Paul forums, they have a place just for pictures. I guess I can put them in the machines link. Is that what you guys do? I haven't seen any but mine? Well, I can't post a picture anyways, don't know how. Tried, but Clay got it working, not me. I will try again,

Re: NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
I like the pics you posted via a link. Last member in the pool is a rotten egg!!!!.... . But seriously....I'm sure Mr. HMV can PM you all the details for you to do a "Featured Phono" in our "machines" section. Pick any machine you like. From the two I see....it might be a hard choice to make.Amberola wrote:See, don't work for me. What am I doing wrong?
I for one can't wait.

Re: NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
Well, I do have the disease like the rest of you. I can put some pretty rare machines on here if I knew how. Funny thing happened today. I bought a Standard model D, just because the price was cheap. It is a cygnet horn machine. Had the back bracket, C and H reproducers and the bell for the cygnet. The bearing was froze, so I replaced it. Put a new belt on it and played great with the C. Went to look at the H, and the top was broken clean off. Looked in my parts, and found a top, but the limit pin was gone. But the broken one had it. Spent an hour getting it out, and was putting it back together and the hinge pin was broken way down deep. I finaly after 3 hours just gave up.

Re: NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
It is really pretty easy to show a "Featured Phonograph". And yes, you would create a topic in the "Machines" section. Here is a link to the last one (#89): http://forum.talkingmachine.info/viewto ... =2&t=13665. You simply create a topic with the next number (#90) and use the same format to present your information. If you are missing any information just leave it empty, more often than not other forum members will provide additional info.Amberola wrote:I was just thinking about other boards I visit.

Re: NO WHERE TO SHOW OFF YOUR MACHINES?
I would recommend that you upload the photos directly to the forum as opposed to linking from photobucket, imageshack, etc. It improves page load speed and helps decrease the amount of broken photo links when images are deleted or moved on the third party site. The link Alang posted should give you the details you need.Amberola wrote:See, don't work for me. What am I doing wrong?

Moo only sits around this board huffing edison oil and cleaning his nails with used phono needles. Checking out the phonagraphy!
