Phono Karma

[Valecnik]

If phono karma does exist then someone I am aware of should be about to be hit from a great height by a gramophone in the very near future.....one of those experimental edison cement cabinet ones. There that should do the trick

A 10-50 would likely work as well.

A floor model Crap-O-Phone would be most fitting.

When cranks attack cranks who attack...?

[Swing Band Heaven]

Indeed.

We should be thankful, I suppose, that he is now banished to a place where few have to endure the rants and those who do don't care For far too long he has ranted on like a petulant child and now that stream has, for the most part, been silenced. Most of us are truely thankful



"A floor model Crap-O-Phone would be most fitting."

Ah yes, made by the Fuller Company in Tring. A Fuller-Crap....O-Phone which of course, as we all know, is a machine pretending to be something it isn't. Usually constructed from cheap bog standard materials and is usually "all mouth and no trousers" to coin a phrase. One of little interest to most.

the worst gramophonic thing ive had is a tonearm tip and get a gramophone needle stuck in my finger!, my worst injury acctually happened when i spilt candle wax on my knee in new zealand, i had a scar about 2" wide!, always the little things
oh yeah, i nearly set fire to the kitchen messing around with wax cylinders!

Hi Jerry,
I thought I would let the dust settle from all the jokes and dig's you were getting, before asking how your thumb is doing? I know how damn painful it is when that happens. Gordon

My thumb looked worse than it felt so it wasn't a big deal. I sold the Amberola 30 later that day even after explaining the problem and beating it gave me. Thanks, Jerry

Be happy it wasn't the kickback from a Ford Model T crank. That can break your wrist.

The way you avoid the Ford wrist is to pull the crank up with your fingers, rather than push the crank down with the palm of your hand. It's a little harder to crank that way, but safer. My buddy has a Model A, so I learned the correct method from him. Everybody should know this, right?
