How does it play?

How does it look?

Please read the descriptions closely. 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 "ticks" and "pops" here and there from tiny scratches, needle digs, normal wear, etc.; their more specific condition (eg: anything more than 3 ticks) is noted below. I could have missed something---if there's a flaw I haven't noted, I'll make it right!

Shipping: Shipping is your choice:
Priority mail (with its Zone format) ranging up to $9.00
OR
Media Mail at $3.55.

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, other legal forms of tender* 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!!!)!!!)
* I can’t use the four letter “c” word or ebay will “bounce” this listing under their “Safe Payments Policy policy”

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 table-model Orthophonic Victrola which will affect the playback differently than other types of phonographs.
