[Phono-L] Grafonola E-2

[Glenn Longwell]

Listened to the Durium Jr last night.  As I thought when I first saw it - it's an advertisement.  But seeing College Humor Trio made me think maybe it was just the song listed, "Banks of the Wabash."  Well they sing it for a little bit then it's an advertisment for a magazine called College Humor (good call Ron L).  With the tonearm on my Stanton turntable I couldn't play the whole thing.  The inside diameter of this record is so small my tonearm isn't long enough.

A very quick search found this on Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_Humor_(magazine)

Also, this record is part of the listing of records for a 1931 Durium compilation - http://www.venerablemusic.com/catalog/TitleDetails.asp?TitleID=13334

Congratulations on that Durium Jr. find. Would love to find out who the College Humor 
Trio really was. As well as hearing it. Make sure to bring it to a future MOCAPS meeting.

I rescued a Grafonola E-2 today from making it to the dump. It was not restorable as the bottom half was pretty bad, including a hole punched through the side of it. If anyone needs parts off of this let me know off list. 

Interesting find behind the record storage, a 4" Durium Junior by the College Humor Trio. Can't wait to listen to it...
