Restoration Old record player gramophone (phonograph)

[@Ivahbghhjhfdsxvnj]

Работа проделана колоссальная! Из такого убитого патефона сделали конфетку, и настроен хорошо. 👍

[@gunnarthefeisty]

While I don't love the felt, the wood looks quite nice, and mechanically you did a great job!

[@TheDelightfulCrafter]

I would have to disagree with those who said the outside was ruined. I think it’s beautiful… great restoration

[@RegebroRepairs]

I just think it looks wrong to have veneering. It's a portable. Have you ever seen a veneered suitcase? 😀

[@borderlineiq]

Beautifully done, but a word of warning to anyone considering doing the same. Felt is a terrible choice to line the inside with, as it is an open fiber and will trap dirt and stains, even from touching it. Over time, it will be the thing in this instrument that deteriorates and shows decline. It's really hard to clean felt.

[@fdort3971]

That's typical for old pieces...if I'm trying to stay true to the Era, what would you suggest? Trying to learn

[@victrolalover7795]

This is lovely! It really shows that you don't need to make it look like it did originally for it to look good, I have a 1945 HMV 102 that is very similar, though it's coverings are in perfect condition and I would never dream of re-covering it.

[@buffplums]

What an amazing job… those who said you ruined the outside… nonsense it looks amazing… I might do this with my old 102

[@marksevigny8095]

Super job and an excellent video of the process of restoring this beautiful machine!

[@jeffreyhickman3871]

Just came across your KZbin channel and subscribed 👍!! I enjoy the restoration of these very much. Gramophones produce some of the most beautiful music 🎶. Too bad 👎 they were put to shame 🫠 by the more modernized record player. Your friend, Jeff!!

The rexine was probably put on with Hide glue. Softening it with a heat gun (Gently) would have made removal easier. But! Terrific Job.

nice restoration! only using felt (green) for platter base is bad idea because it can effect the flawless movement of mechanism and these part need to lubricant time by time. A solid polished wood or plywood would have been a better option. Overall looking good.

[@agatkz3446]

Beautiful! 👍Make pockets, you can play billiards. 😊

[@buffplums]

Lovely EMI 102 I have a 1939 model … have cleaned it up a bit but not some much other than mechanically clean it all,down and lubricate the motor and working parts. I wonder why it’s all black, when originally it was blue, has it been in a dirty environment or a fire perhaps, smoke damage?

[@DIDALL]

yes, he was burned

[@libbyhufton5990]

thank u for this video!! I have one the same (interestingly with similar damage also) am in the process of restoring so really useful as I lost the photos I took where to put everything back together again 🙃

My father cleared out my grandma house while I was at work I said save the gramophone I’ll restore it He put it in the local skip Before he got back to his car a man fished it out At least it found a new life I could not give it!!!

[@goforgold7082]

Although I can appreciate the technical skills and the ability to take a record player like this apart and then renew it, the only thing I did not really like was the veneer, it somehow makes it look too new. Some of these old record players in my country had real Oregon Pine as a base, and they look really beautiful when the material is removed and the real wood underneath restored. But you have to work with what you have, I understand that

[@goforgold7082]

@KING VICTROLA I know. But I would still prefer a natural case such as wood, above a manmade material. Even if the object gets a few dents and scractchmarks with time, it looks nicer and reflects the history of the piece. I have a yellowwood table which I inherited from my parents, and will not dream of putting sandpaper to it, you can see that it has been used and served a purpose, every mark on it was caused by a family member either baking or cutting bread

[@toomanyinterests]

​@@goforgold7082 Many portable gramophones aren't entirely made from timber, the top and bottom are made from a type of fibreboard so the veneer was necessary. Some of the earlier portables had timber cases which do look good. I think the timber cases ended up being considered old fashioned and it became more fashionable to have portables look like leather cases, as well as it being cheaper and a bit lighter to use thin fibreboard. Interestingly, the HMV 102 (which this gramophone is a copy of) and the 101 had for the standard version a beautiful varnished timber motorboard, whereas for the coloured de luxe versions the motorboard was covered in the same Rexine as the rest of the case.

[@104gramophone]

Can you show how you did the corners of the wood veneer. I've got a really tatty 101 in my collection and I would like to have a go but I'm concerned how the corners were formed

[@DIDALL]

there is nothing complicated here, first make a mark with a pencil where the seams of the lining should be, so that later it would be easier to cut, you need to use contact glue (analogue of a shoe), smooth the corners with a board, the glue seized immediately, used glue with the name (nairit GTA BOTERM), and then cut off only the rest of the veneer. I recommend applying the glue exactly to the extent that the piece of veneer should be, that is, no more than the area marked for a particular piece.

[@fdort3971]

@DIDALL love the veneer! Great job! Was this poor thing in a fire? That was a serious amount of damage! What wheel and compound did you use on the hardware please?

[@fdort3971]

I forgot to ask, where do you source your parts please? I'm in Nova Scotia and I received floor model phonograph free!

Why didn't you restore it to look as it did originally?

[@alexrodgers1501]

I'm guessing he wanted to add his own style to it. At least he did it in a way which won't stop someone else from making it look original again, and it was in terrible condition before. Now at least it works again and won't be thrown in a skip. Plus it's not as if 102s are rare

[@samuelvernon432]

Красиво и добросовестно сделал, но это не реставрация, таких моделей я не видел. Задача реставратора в том и состоит чтобы восстановить первоначальный вид изделия вне зависимости от того, нравится он или нет. Честно говоря, меня подмывало сделать нечто подобное, но удержался от искушения. Более того, ищу варианты восстановления на каждом изделии заводских клейм, штампов, оттисков и эмблем

[@carinabonstrom2075]

can you please help me. that vinyl on the box of the gramophone whats is it called. its not vinyl its called something else then that.

[@DIDALL]

VIGOR 106 or infolk 106 (vinyl paper)

[@quadraphonicfreak]

Why did you put green felt on the inside of the machine? Why not just use the felt on the turntable and line the inside of the cabinet with veneer? That looks awful in green felt!

[@DIDALL]

I like that better

[@ФениксПригорелов]

@@DIDALL I also like billiard cloth. Such a gramophone could be so modified to order as a gift to the director of the plant, for example. So this design is authentic. In a completely Soviet style.

[@Inkpaducah]

I’ve worked with windup phonographs for 65 years You did not show one second of cleaning dried grease out of the mechanism, or oiling bearings. You video is good for making a perfectly functioning 60+ year look more modern. That is not very helpful to most viewers. We would likely work on fixing the mechanical and acoustic function, and the cabinet work would be secondary. That said, the veneer looks great! I’d like it if the deck was a different material from the turntable.
