(First off, I love threads that start with "Noooooooooo!")

That Credenza's motorboard is like no other I have ever seen. That thing has been beat to heck and back, I'll bet! No Victor ID plate, wrong (not to mention, in the wrong place) needle holders....

It isn't a Credenza- it's just a look-alike.

What might be interesting, would be to hear a DD played on an Orthophonic, using one of those adapters that offsets the stylus so the vertical modulations are properly reproduced.

UNGH! I want to hear that too! I tried to buy one on eBay, but it went for something like $250+! (I want to say $400+, but it has been a long time since it sold.)

Carsten made one up from scratch once, using a modified Ultona reproducer fitted up to an orthophonic (I think it was an automatic one, a 10-50 maybe). He described the whole process of modifying, installing, etc. on Dan Gitmo's old board. That post is vapor, unless someone kept a copy for archive purposes, but I remember it.

Speaking of Carsten, what happended to him? Is he posting somewhere under another name?

I have a Bush & Lane 'Duo-Vox' with a totally trashed cabinet. The 'Duo-Vox' tone arm has two reproducers mounted on two crooks at the end of the arm, hydra-like, like a Victor Borgia II -- one for lateral and the other DD vertical. I suppose I should salvage it and remount it on something -- along with precision leg levelers in order to use it!

I bid on one of those once with the same notion- attach it to one of those off brand machines with a nice cabinet but a busted pot metal arm. I've heard that the Bush and Lane vertical reproducers are excellent.

Here we go again...looks like it happens all the time.

And the lucky bidder also gets "17 original Edison 78s in excellent condition." I wonder if the seller determined the condition of the 17 records by playing them.

Yeeks! I hope that these aren't hot dance band DDs.

Yes, I have also wondered over these past 5 months where he's gone. I haven't noticed any of his massive ebay auctions taking place either.
