Revilla Grooves and Gear: Grade 'em Fair, Ship 'em Fast! (Follow us on Twitter: RevillaGrooves / Like Us On Facebook: Revilla Grooves and Gear / Blog: http://revillagroovesandgear.blogspot.com) www.revillagroovesandgear.comThe Item:
Schirmer Album No. 18
Artist: Lee Wiley
Album: Sings Songs of Harold Arlen
Title: Various - 8 tunes
Year: 1943
Condition: I use VJM grading for all 78s
Visually: Average of all records: Playing Surfaces; E- to E+, one has a light scratch on each side. One has a half moon indent, not crack, just an indent.
All four have warps, requiring heavier tone arm setting to play properly.
Sounds: E to E+, there is some noise inherent in press, not caused by user wear. That's just how the Schirmer pressed records sounded.
Cover: V+, some minor discoloring on front. Some rubbing and discoloring on back. Some minor wear to corners and edges.
Displays beautifully.
Cleaned with the Spin Clean System
NJ Bidders: Revilla Grooves and Gear has the responsibility to charge 7% sales tax to New Jersey auction winners. This sales tax charge will appear on your invoice at the end of auctions.
Details:
My Reference and Grading Audio System:
Audio grading is done with a pitch perfect KAB Broadcast Standard Technics 1210 Turntable and a Grado 78E Cartridge designed for Mono 78 record playback. (If you love vintage records and don't have one of these you owe it to yourself to hear what it can do for your 78s)
Check out the KAB Broadcast Standard: http://www.kabusa.com/kab_bst.htm
******Grado 78E specs so you can compare my grading cartridge to your listening cartridge:

Amp is a Vintage Eico HF-81 set for Mono playback. Speaker: Single Mono Vintage University Coax. I feel this is a very close to authentic set up. I grade with Bass and Treble settings at zero for the most reliable read of actual record quality
