Description
2046. VINTAGE 78 RPM RECORD ~ VICTOR 119 ~ 7" DIAMETER, ONE-SIDED, SPOKEN INTRO
ARTIST/GROUP: Haydn Quartet
TITLE(S): "Tenting on the Old Campground"
DESCRIPTION: Vocal quartet with bugle calls
GRADE: Good (G)
CONDITION NOTES: Record label is somewhat faded with visible scuffs, wear, and small scratches. Record surface has visible scuffs, scratches, areas of graying, a few small dimples, the raised number "140-1" is on the reverse (blank) side, and this item is dusty (could use a gentle cleaning).
This item plays with surface noise and has a rough start which does quiet some for the second 1/2 of record; however, it does play, the bugle calls are fairly clear, and the singing (lyrics), while somewhat muffled, can be made out.
**SELLER'S NOTE: According to what is read through label (written in wax underneath), this item is take "3" and was recorded on Nov. 19, 1900, most likely in Camden, NJ.
***No worries about packing…I pack for shipment like the pros - record secured between cardboard squares in large box with plenty of padding.

GRADING IS CONSERVATIVE USING THE VJM RECORD GRADING SYSTEM:
N (78). As new and unplayed (there are virtually no 78s that can categorically be claimed to be unplayed).
N- (78). Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.
E+ (78). Plays like new, with very, very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.
E (78). Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.
E- (78). Still shiny but without the luster of a new record, a few light scratches and scuffs.
V+ (78). An average condition 78 in which scuffs and general use has dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is generally free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.
V (78). Moderate, even wear throughout, but still very playable. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.
V- (78). Quite playable still, but distortion and heavy graying in loud passages. Music remains loud in most passages. Surface noise and scratches well below music level.
G+ (78). Grey throughout but still serviceable. Music begins to sound muffled. Heavy scratches.
G (78). Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is still higher than surface noise.
