After the label was revived by the Cova Recording Corporation in early 1930, the records were pressed by an unknown company. The Cova QRS records were intended to be a budget label, and the quality of them is notoriously bad.

Thanks for the history snippet, Steve. The records I have are probably issued by this Cova Corp, as they sound bad, certainly worse than Gennetts, although I did not see any identification other than the QRS on the labels.

Phonograph arrived today. However, the rubber gasket for the sound box deteriorated (no surprise) will need to buy a new one. Motor, runs and it winds up.

The tone arm is a bit stiff, so I removed it, and sprayed some WD-40 to clean it up. Put it back, and put some oil on it, and mover the arm back a fourth. To help it move smoother.

I've never seen one before.
You'll need a QRS disc for it now.
James.
I bought a QRS record for it.

And your record is not the run of the mill variety.
My only QRS is "The Duck Yas Yas Yas" by Stump Johnson.
