Description
Up for auction is a rare Vocalion 5336 Smith's Garage Fiddle Band Lime Rock/Miss Lola. Condition for me is a little difficult to determine as I am not a collector. I have sold 78's for several years on another site using the vinyl grading system with good success. I must say that this record has survived a life of neglect as it was found in a large lot of 78's out of sleeves. It is very surprising the condition is very good. It appears to have been played very little, but it does have issues of bulk storage that has left a few surface scuffs and short scratches. It plays very well on a modern set up, but I don't have the proper stylus for proper playback. I hear a background noise throughout playback that doesn't overpower which I attribute to improper stylus (I use a Stanton Blue Dot on a 681EEE). Music is clear with occasional ticks/pops. There are a couple of places on each side that I took a close-up photo of the grooves. I didn't have any issues playing through these areas but wanted to point them out as variances in groove pattern. With all this said please look at the photos and bid accordingly. Returns are limited to my gross negligence in description which include photos. Good luck.
