Thanks Clay I'm a newbie at this

Lookin' good, Gene! That's a keeper.

How can you beat that for only 35 buckeroos?

Plus, the Diamond Discs...now you need an Edison Diamond Disc player.

Fran

Thanks Fran...yes she is a keeper, but I told my brother I'd sell it to him...
as for the edison disc's I still haven't decided what to do with them.

For the Exhibition rebuild, see this: http://www.nipperhead.com/old/rep_exhib.htm

Thanks Henry, I have that saved in my favorites....used it when I rebuilt my Exhibition
on my VV-VI, it's very helpful.

Gene, your XI came up nicely! Is it the lighting, or is yours brown mahogany? Mine looks a lot more reddish than yours. I think I like yours better!

It could be the lighting Henry, but I believe it's that English Brown mahogony they offered
back then, because I have VV-XVI from 1918 and it's the more reddish mahogony.
Gene

Beautiful!

When you get around to rebuilding your Exhibition, I may have a few pointers for you that I learned when I did mine. Nothing magical, just attention to the details.

Ok Henry, i'll let you know when i get the parts, just ordered them today
from APSCO, it's not to far down the road from me about four hours, so
I should have them this week.
