[Jukebox-list] AMI B tone arm

[Rick Force]

Thanks David for the sources, I'll try them out. I know I wouldn't pay $75 for a 78, that could buy me the conversion parts I need.  Rick.

  Try the record auctions.  Record Finders (recordfinders.com),
  Recordsmith (recordsmith.com) and Kurt Nauck (78rpm.com) are
  the biggest that I know of.  Be warned - rock 78s are
  expensive.  How about $75 for Hound Dog/Don't be Cruel in
  V+ condition?  That alone might make you want to convert
  to 45s.  :-)

  The late 40s and early 50s were a pretty bleak period
  for popular music.  Big bands were on the way out and
  rack hadn't come along.  Think "How much is that doggy
  in the window" or "Mama loves mambo".  There was also
  the second recording strike to contend with.  There are
  some gems there, but also a lot of dreck.
