Still a very interesting piece. They must have though raised havoc on the records and to some extent the stylus when you close that sound tube off so close to the origination of the sound and all that vibration has nowhere to go...
I always thought the same thing about the records. I have one of these that came in a box of parts someone gave me a few years ago and while it's neat to have, I never use it unless someone wants to see (hear?) how it works. I prefer my Triumph as loud as it can be!

I always thought that the first chairs with wheels, aka office chairs, were a sort of volume control. Just sit right in front of the machine and push yourself back in the very unlikely event you thought it was too loud. To me it's not the reduced volume that's the concern as much as the deterioration of sound quality when you put a barrier like that between the music and your ears. I removed the volume control from my C19, (unscrewed the muffball)and dropped it into the back of the machine years ago.
That's funny, I've removed the mute ball from both my DD machines as well. Fill the house with the sounds of Edison, I say!

ha. I don't think anyone here can possibly believe you've limited yourself to just two.

I know, but I've kept the two favorites, my very late C-19 and the W-250. No need for any others. I still have an A-200 for sale though....

Maybe they were used at night when the kids were sleeping!
