How do you know when it’s time to have a reproducer rebuilt? Distorted sound? Is there anything more to it?
@1974hurt 5 сағат бұрын
Yes. Muddled sound means it’s time to rebuild and replace the gaskets and clean the diaphragm

It depends on how the horn hooks up. It needs to come in and turn.

Great video..Could you write a book like; ''REPRODUCER REPAIR AND REBUILD FOR DUMMIES'' ? .Any reproducer info is ''''Golden''''. THIS IS A VERY RARE 'ART'. We need to keep all the remaining machines running into the future. I have about 10 used reproducers that work but need service. THANK YOU.

When was the last time those phonographs up on the top shelf got polished, oiled, etc? My biggest concerns would be rust, swelling, and warping. I only have 5 machines, but I take really good care of them. Why collect anything if it's just going to rot up on a shelf somewhere without getting any love or care? Let's take a little more pride in our collections and not collect just to say you have a particular machine.

I restored a VV-VI that I found at a yard sale. It is my first phonograph. Your tips have been helpful. It was a fun process. I have found I really enjoy early 1900s Hawaiian guitar music. Anyways, I used the green grease on the spring barrel. If you had to guess, how many years do you think until I should worry about needing to clean the assembly and reapply grease, or is a rule of thumb just to listen to what the machine is telling me, for noises and whatnot?
@1974hurt 18 күн бұрын
If you rebuilt the motor taking everything apart and cleaning it all and then oiling it every year, you’ll never need to take it apart and add green grease in your lifetime

Brilliant guide! Extremely generous of you to share this awesome information! Question: what on earth is the behemoth behind you ever used for in a gramophone repair shop? I could imagine this being essential in an car engine repair or machining shop but I can't think why a gramophone person would ever need it.
@1974hurt Ай бұрын
That is a milling machine, and I use it to precisely drill out material where I need high precision and tight tolerances such as when I have to drill out a shaft.

@@1974hurt Thank you for the reply. Maybe you'll be able to make one in the future, if it is worth showing the process. It is a curiosity seeing such machines operating on flimsy sound reproduction devices. The sound can be turned down or off completely in video editing. The point of course is that the milling machine is the undisputed queen of the machining shop.
