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:
