Artist: Thomas A. Edison / New York Military Band

Year: 1919
In Dead Shellac:
6540-A-2-27
6509-C-3-3
Condition: I use VJM grading for all 78s
Record:Visually: E, a few light scratches here and there, mostly in dead shellac, no greying or groove wear. No splits, chips or dings. Lamination is as it should be. Visually, this record is gorgeous.
Sounds: E- to E, plays as it should. Voice/music is clear and concise. There is the common surface noise associated with Diamond Discs when played on electrical equipment. Not intrusive. A truly great player!
Cover: V, splits, discoloring etc. As is to be expected of paper nearly 100 years old. All flaws can be seen in pictures. Still solid and holds the record as it should. Displays beautifully.
Cleaned with the Spin Clean System
This is a very exciting find. I have seen the record sell at auction. I have seen the sleeve sell at auction, but I am unable to find evidence online of the record and sleeve selling together.
This is an original packaged combination. This is how I found them: The record in the sleeve, in the very bottom of a box of Diamond Discs. This record has not seen the light of day in over 60 years.
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
