SOLD: Blue Amberol 3708 Theodore Roosevelt - $85.00

[pughphonos]

A fine copy of Roosevelt's "The Farmer and Businessman." No plaster loss, groove splits, major scratches, gouges, nor skips. Some moderate "swish" at the very onset for 25 seconds but then fades largely away. Only moderate wobble at the outset; tracking never fails. I have reemed the cylinder so that it slides entirely onto the mandrel. Those who collect the Roosevelt Blue Amberols know that Roosevelt (for all his outsized personality) recorded these speeches relatively softly and therefore it is important that surface noise not be excessive.

PM me.
