Description
Thanks to all of you who purchased from my Web Page listings during my eBay sabbatical but, even though they continue - I'm back on eBay! eBay's a little easier to manage and everyone gets an equal shot at the records they love - so off we go..............................
Please read the descriptions closely. These records are a "consignment" from a local collector/friend. They're being offered partly (and in some cases more) for their interest in the label. The recording may be quite deficient in quality so keep that in mind.
In deference to those who do not like using steel needles (See "Needle Usage" below), I have listened to only a few grooves of this record to determine its general condition. They all have a few "tics" and "pops" here and there from tiny scratches, needle digs, normal wear, etc.; their more specific condition (eg: anything more than 3 tics) is noted below. I could have missed something---if there's a major flaw I haven't noted, I'll make it right!

I've sold on ebay for almost 3 years and I've resisted until now. But I recently lost my source of free packing material so economics force a slight change. I need to charge a $1 "packing fee" above and beyond the actual USPS charges (included in the above quotes). You're welcome to combine "wins" or even leave them "on hold" for a few weeks to see what else I offer. If your combined "wins" total $15 or more, there will be no "packing fee" added.
Payment: We aren’t set up to accept PayPal or Credit Cards. Money Orders, cash and personal checks are always accepted--(NOTE:if your "Feedback" is over 100 with no recent "negatives", we'll even ship your record(s) the next business day!!!)
Needle Usage: There are some who dogmatically declare that a steel needle should never be used. I do not agree. I will caution that unless you are 110% sure you are putting a new needle in the needle head, do not use it! I would NEVER use a needle I found loose in a Victrola or if I had ANY doubt that it was unused. Once a needle has been used for even a couple grooves, it has some wear--it is no longer round and pointed. It has a flat spot. And where you have a flat spot on a round surface, you have created a sharp edge. And where you have a sharp edge, you have a cutting surface capable of damaging a record groove. For your consideration, I use a portable Orthophonic Victrola which will affect the playback differently than other types of phonographs.
