Paramount 12540

Title: Mojo hand Blues / Alphonsia Blues
Year: 192?
In Dead Shellac:
879 4625 2
880 4626 1
Condition: I use VJM grading for all 78s
Visually: G, many, many scratches and some groove wear, but certainly still serviceable.
Sounds: G+, still a real strong player, with the bacon frying effect at or just below music level. Distortion is not an issue. Some muffling, but not severe. Plays much better than it looks.
Using my KAB VSP I was able to get a really nice sound out of this record. Far from perfect of course, but very enjoyable. If you have the right gear, this record is worth having.
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 78C 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 78C specs so you can compare my grading cartridge to your listening cartridge:
The Prestige model 78C uses a three-piece OTL cantilever technology, oxygen free wire in the coils and a specially designed, high polished conical/spherical
3 mil. diamond mounted in a brass bushing.

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
