Hi Everyone,

im posting this for ad for my friend in salem, oregon that has a set of deagan 145b vibes he is selling .. picture will be posted asap. not mint condition but restorable and playable ..

if interested you can contact Mark Weisgram at 503 585 7421.

I just purchased an old (1940s?) Ludwig vibraphone. It has a Bodine motor with an attachment that looks to me like a friction speed control. There is a knob you twist that presses a felt pad against a spinning disk to, I guessing, slow the motor and change the speed of the rotation of the butterflies. There are some other parts on the motor shaft that I think are heat sinks. I am thinking of cannibalizing the Ludwig to use the motor on another vibe set I have (can't tell you what it is because I bought it used and it has no identifying marks of any kind).
