I Thought This Deserved Its Own Thread!

[hearingimpared]

There are no more of my record clamps available. :( :(


TO ALL WHO HAVE PURCHASED THE CLAMPS, YOU OWN ONE OF ONLY 25 IN CIRCULATION THAT I AM AWARE OF IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM!!!:eek: :cool:

Should you ever decide to sell your clamp I ask that you give me the first shot at purchasing it.;)

Thanks to all you guys and I am sure this is the last record clamp you will ever need to purchase.:)

[hearingimpared]

When I can get, let's say, $60,000 to buy a mold and materials!!! Yeesh everytime I try to crunch the numbers to make more of these gems I get agida. Well maybe some day.

Joe,

It looks like the clamp is a very good design by you that fits a need. If you think there is a market for it, it really is worth pursuing. Hell, you only live once!! Crunch the numbers with a smaller calculator, might not seem so bad after all!!

[candyliquor35m]

I don't wear vinyl without it. Thanks man.

[JimBRICK]

if you havent yet, better get it patented

[hearingimpared]

How this duplicated I don't know, see next post.

A smaller calculator. . . you're a regular riot Alice!!!

It would be the same niche market of audiophiles who love vinyl. This clamp as practicle and worthy doesn't hold a candle to the sexy looks of clamps being made today by the turntable manufacturers. However I am confident that it works better in every way (other than looks).

As far as a patent goes, I had a patent pending back in 1987, a full blown patent IIRC costs thousands which I didn't have then and don't have now. I resigned myself back in 1989 when the patent pending was up, that I had to be content knowing that I did what I set out to do . . . not to make a ton of money but to make a better clamp that really works on practically all turntables therefore this is one of my personal achievements that made some people happy. I am content with that.

And if you have a couple of trusted reviewers vouch for that, your problem will be to keep up with demand....

I'm proud to say that I am one of those lucky 25. This clamp kicks ass! Instantaneous difference in sound quality.

I freakin' love it Joe!!!:D :D :D

[schwarcw]

I should have bought two like Raife did!:(

[Fireman32]

Well i am a proud owner of the clamp and feel privliged to know i am 1 of 25.

[Ricardo]

I am prouder than all of you because I bought the last one :p

[reeltrouble1]

Too bad Joe, as one of the few who has had two of these it is a shame more folks, well what's the sense, there are no more.

For those interested Joe has agreed to do a little talk on the Clamp at the Fest, his best 15-30 minutes on how to use it to flatten your records, maintain it and so on.

viva The Clamp

I really wanted one too. I wish I would've been able to buy one, but that's the way it goes I guess.

[RuSsMaN]

FS: Super rare, 1 of 25 - 'The Clamp'

Yours for ONLY $349.95!!!! Act fast, only 1 available of this super rare find!

[hearingimpared]

$349.95 is way too cheap!

[danger boy]

Joe,
it's a sad day indeed. but look at it this way... they are better off out there being used and enjoyed.. instead of sitting in your closet unused. ;)

I nominate The Clamp for the Club Polk hall of fame.

and it really works as described. :)

[RuSsMaN]

I am prouder than all of you because I bought the last one :p

The last one was a scratch and dent demo model.

Nanner nanner nanner

Not true.

Why negate my fun? Why toy with my emotions? Why can't you let me tease Ricardo? Poo on you.

Cause Ricardo didn't get the last one either!!!:D :p

[Ricardo]

I didn't????? You owe me a partial refund then :mad:

;)

[hearingimpared]

You got the last one sold but not the last one.:D :confused: :D :cool:

[SCompRacer]

Joe, I passed on a used Sota Cosmos vacuum table with SME V because of the clamp.

I told the wife you said I was one of 25 instead of one of a kind, and she is prepared to dispute that with you.

[Lasareath]

Joe,

Congrats on selling out of all your stock!

Hey guys, the 25 of you, put a little post-it with my email address on the back of your TT that states "Sal Cameli will buy this, email him and he will pay $350"

So, when your Widow sells off your gear I'll buy your Clamp!

Heck, I might buy the TT as well ;)

I would send mine back to be autographed in gold ink by Joe, but I'm afraid they would be trashed/lost/stolen by UPS/FedEx/USPS/Airborne/Pony Express/Whoever.:eek:

[engtaz]

Airborne/DHL are one of the few that have not killed any of my packages.

Well the Post Office tried to destroy the one that Fireman Dave got but they couldn't. I think you would have to run it over with a steam roller to even come close to damaging it. The biggest problem I've run into are big guys (RT1) which porterhouse steak sized hands (RT1) who force the cap the wrong direction causing it to seize.:eek:

[treitz3]

So RT1 is really a gorilla in disguise?:eek:

[Lasareath]

Well somebody destroyed one. Joe has one that cannot be uncrewed. Who did that again Joe?
