Antique1973,

How do you post a video (like above) on this site so it can be played in this forum?

Thanks!

Yeah, the Columbias do it the worst. They must be significantly softer.

This is why the newer arrangement seen in the Victor o types (see Baumbach's Victor Data Book, pp.71-74) and later Victor models represented such an improvement, at least from an engineering standpoint. Just my 2¢ worth.

Ah, so there is a design flaw also. Makes sense. Not a big deal, I will just stick with the early
Victor records on this machine. Thanks.

Andersun, Try this. I hope it's understandable. Hard to explain!

1) click on the YouTube Box above the text box (where you write in the TMF message). It looks like:

2) cut the full url from the address bar of youTube video. Full URL looks something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XR_RJUbf9_M

3) Past full URL between like this [YouTube]PAST FULL URL HERE[/YouTube]

4) Result should be this:
