Now that I know I can do this, the next time we do an installment of the " I hate/love the Exhibition soundbox.." debate , I've got a clip to upload on the " love'em " side,
It's SPRING in Toronto today. (..the non-winding variety..)

Excellent, I always enjoy that debate. Did we ever get to the bottom of the 10-50 v HMV 202 sound? Two debates there 1)who has the biggest horn and 2)which sounds better overall given that one has a wood horn and the other metal.

I dont think that debate will end until Moo gets a 203/2 oneday
The horn in the HMV is considerably bigger though. About a foot longer, and something like 50 square inches bigger at the opening.
As for the wood versus metal thing, I thing both machines would probably sound equally as good as each other, but different, and would probably just come down to personal preference.

If you're looking for a machine to play your diamond disc records, I have a very nice H-19 for sale. I'm in Ma. just north of Boston. If you are interested email me at [email protected] and I will provide details and pictures.

I just started working on a c-200 in oak last night, someone painted the grill black and also removed the medallions and painted the corner caps black. So dumb.....I found some medallions for it but need the frame that goes around the bedplate. Can someone help me with that? Either a tracing or an original one would be great.

Thanks

I could sure use a pair of oak corner medallions for a C-200.

I also need the trim that goes above the medallions.

Thanks
Bob
