Folks, I just saw that Charley Hummel has listed a complete set of his new listening tubes on EBAY. I purchased a set from him at the Wayne show and I am 110% pleased. He did a phenomenal job replicating the ear tube set, right down to the hand-made red rubber tubing. If you have an early Edison or Columbia cylinder machine, this is an absolute must purchase at an exceedingly fair price. its a no brainer to get at least one.

Re: Listening Tubes
Hello,
Where would you get the part that goes on the end and slips over the reproducer throat??

Re: Listening Tubes
Jean Paul Agnard also sells reproduction listening tubes and he also offers the little connector for the reproducer for $5 more. http://www3.sympatico.ca/jean-paul.agna ... age109.htm
Not shure if Ron Sitko has those as well?
I like the red rubber tubes better than the white...

Re: Listening Tubes
Does anybody know when the red tubes were used, and what year they changed to white rubber? Why was there a change?

Re: Listening Tubes
Got mine yesterday and they are great... red rubber is more flexible and it is made exactly like old red rubber tubing.
