Yes, I did indeed. That's why I recognised it straight away. I was very impressed at the time with the way you changed the copedant to what I was used to in about a minute flat. A great instrument.

Mine says it's made by the Orpheum company. No question that they were made by the same manufacturer. But the DeArmand pickup is obviously not the original pickup.

So, we have Magnatone making them under the names "Orpheum" and "Lehua", any other names known ? How about a "Magnatone" !

John Billings'fine example is an Orpheum, as is Tighe Falato's, whilst the one owned by Richard Shatz and the Australian one are both "Lehua's"
