The phonograph parts used on the Reginaphones were made by Columbia Phonograph Co. The Columbia threaded end horns are fairly common as they were used on many of the cylinder and disc phonographs made by Columbia and also found on many other makes that were actually Columnia products such as Oxford...

•Antique Phonograph Supply Company (APSCO, they now have a nice web page) will do spring lube and/or replacement. They have a lot of experience and use new stock if the old spring is broken.

•In the phonograph fraternity, the byword on removing and replacing the powerful mainsprings inside barrels is -- DON'T! Unless you have the know-how and a few specialized tools (easy to make), you are better off sending your spring (inside its barrel) to a special- its who can remove, clean, re-gre...

•Someone mentioned a neat phonograph periodical here a few weeks ago, called the New Amberola Graphic. I subscribed to it about 15 years ago but let it drop for some reason. I now have a nice cylinder phonograph and a Credenza Orthophonic phonograph, and would like to do more related reading. Does a...

•Regina used Columbia phonograph parts on many of their machines. The same horn from an outside Columbia, especially the nickel-plated one, and a 10-inch turntable from an outside horn machine will probably work. Collectors and or dealers in antique phonographs can probably supply these parts. The l...

•I too am interested in phonograph recordings of automatic musical instruments (a.m.i.) in their own right. I was first introduced to the field by the Biograph ragtime LPs which came out in the early 1970s. While these records are not, in my opinion, the best examples of pianolist technique, the pia...

•For those of us in the phonograph branch of the hobby, 10-inch 78s of Hawaiian music (many of them black label acoustic Victors) seem to be all TOO plentiful.

•The suggestion to transfer music from the phonograph pickup to WAV file with the preemphasis intact and then apply deemphasis to the WAV file is a great idea. Okay, so far, but where does one find an RIAA (or earlier) deemphasis filter for WAV files? Does this filter come pre-built in any of the au...
