The only type of needles i use, they're great!

Do you have a video of the replacement of the horn on a Brunswick 207? I think I know how but don't wanna chance anything.

Like the phonograph needle display collection! I just started collecting those myself. Cool idea to put them just above the records. Also got hooked on collecting the round celluloid record brush/ dusters. Always a pleasure to watch your informative videos!

Thanks!

Hey man - I left a message for you - you want my phonograph? send me an email if you do.

What is the value of this phonograph

Okay, now I understand the significance of this particular machine, and why Rene Rondeu set up and Opera serial number list. On the Antique Phonograph Society’s forum.

Hello, Thank you for the nice explanation on setting up the horn. I have a horn and the bottom shaft of the crane, around 6 inches. Can you please suggest how to build the crane or where can I buy the crane? The horn is 31" long and 19" diameter. Thank you.

The screw with the flat head will fit where that one was, but it belongs on one the the outer posts.

Ive learned a huge amount from you since i found this channel a few weeks ago. My motor was squeaking and your advice on using wd4d to clean off the old grease worked. Fixed the problem. My reproducer broke and hearing yours inspired me to send it off for restoring. At the same time my tone arm bracket finally broke. Now i feel confident i can replace that. Im broke but grateful😂 thank you, keep up this amazing content.

I love Billy Murray beautiful song 🎵 on fantastic looking Opera Best of luck in ye New Home so looking forward to seen your museum collection displayed please do more videos when ye up and running 👍😀☕️

Thankyou for showing that i sent cylinder records and they can be a real nightmare to send especially wax cylinder records, Know matter how you send them how careful you are there's always a chance they can break in transit.😮😮😮

That looks like a sensational install! Suggest you tip your installer! ;-)😁(For those considering the product, it's the "Kallax" storage system from Ikea.) Sturdy and inexpensive for what you get, but like the genius says, it does need to be anchored to the wall to prevent tip-overs.

Is there a back panel?

You can never have enough record storage. Thanks for showing! Most of my media is in boxes. Ill definitely check out those shelving units.

don't go on vacation, brother! :-) 🙂

It is so very nice seeing Matcha again! I greatly admire your ability to fix these machines and keep them running as well as you do, says he who does not know which end of a screwdriver to hold.

I'm glad you mentioned you would lock it in from the top! My first thought upon seeing the shelf was "You need to make sure that is locked in to the wall so it doesn't fall on someone...like a grandchild or small visitor!"

Did Billy Murray bring a nice owl in the studio that day to record him?

The cat is looking for the bird.

I think the machine is going a tad too fast, I mean Adas' voice was high, but Billys' voice is a bit high as well

From 1914

Wow, this takes me back. “The Whistling Coquette” was the first Blue Amberol cylinder I ever owned (it came free with an Edison Fireside.) Very nice song. Good luck on the new place btw.

I recently rebuilt a 4-spring credenza motor, but ended up having a second person hold the spring above me as it was wound into the barrel. I found every time the spring touched the floor winding it on my own, it would pick up abrasive particulate. Your shop must be far cleaner than mine, lol.

I restored a Victor 10-50 and a Credenza, I was able to buy junked pot metal reproducers and cobbled together five nice sounding ones. Even if the lockdown ring is broken in two pieces I can usually still tighten it down successfully. Also replaced the ball bearings and gaskets with new ones. Not beautiful as far as the finish goes but they all sound equally great, as long as they work right I'm happy..

Great video! You inspired me to take my vv 4 3 motor out. It was making this clicking sound when spinning. Found inches of caked on grease all over the motor. Used a papertowel to get as much off as i could and reoiled with sewing machine oil. Can you do a video on degreasing a motor? How do you get that stuff off.

OH MY GOD. I just entered OZ

I am needing advice! And maybe some help to figure out what is wrong with my phonograph! It’s an earlier model maybe 1916. Square shaped horn and we don’t know what is wrong with it! We want to be able to play records. ☺️

Boy, what a nightmare! 😲 It is advisable to find out how the seller will ship the records to you before buying them. You can ask that they be packed a certain way, and hopefully the seller will agree to pack them properly. I've seen a method where the records are stacked with or without sleeves in a cardboard sandwich with no more than 10 records and then placed in a sturdy box with packing material like styrofoam peanuts to cushion all around the 78 records sandwiches. Do you have any experience shipping them that way? Thanks! 👍👍👍

My Edison has just the standard gold Edison name on the front. No fancy banner. So, it’s a latter production model.

Too bad I didn't watch this about 6 hours ago...

This is a beautiful machine. I enjoy my Home very much but I think I like my Triumph a little more. You wind it up and it seems to play forever. My old favorite before I got my Triumph with the O-reproducer was the Fireside with the 2-piece horn and the K-reproducer. I love watching all of your videos. You and your wife are fantastic!!

This is an early video that got missed.

the amount of detail that goes into these videos is fantastic - thank you for spending the time to do this. Looking forward to tearing down and refurbing my one! Just curious - what do you use for polishing?

Simply great

question - I seem to have the identical model here - but when I wind the spring, it tensions as expected but there's a lot of tension on the handle, and if I release it unwinds itself. I suspect that this may have something to do with what you call the "ratchet pawl" - its probably not engaging? When I jiggle it, it flops around freely - so is there a spring missing or something? I really appreciate your videos - I picked one of these up at an estate sale and am absolutely thrilled to have one; I would like to get it going. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

thank you for sharing this information!

2:57 This made me laugh pretty hard! But a very nice machine overall.

What are the ones behind you against the wall? How loud do they play? Are they similar? I have so many questions.

Is it safe to play later electricly recorded records on older style victrolas with a no2 reproducer and is it possible to have you repair gramophone motors and veneer for my hmv 109

I have one of these I found in a cleanout I was doing. I hate to toss it out and would rather send it to someone that could use the parts; it is mostly disassembled.

What damage would this cause if it hit a person while flying out of the barrel?

I’m needing your help! I acquired a vv-100, and the automatic brake rod was beginning to drag on the motor board, and I discovered vertical movement in the tone arm. I followed your instructions in this video to service the tone arm. I got it back together, and the automatic brake rod is no longer dragging, but there is still a vertical movement in the tone arm. What do I need to look at, or replace to try to correct that? Thanks for your help!!

I like the Brunswick a lot and think it’s one of the most robust ever! Your review was spot on. You’re very fortunate to have a really cool kitty as an assistant. Great team work!

Annoyingly enough my Brunswick (and I'm assuming most panatrope types) don't have the pulls. I don't know how you're intended to pull it out but it's very difficult.

This is totally Awesome thank you for showing us how to clean old shellac and Edison DD and Blue Ambrola records

Super helpful, my Victor III has a terrible machine gun sound when it first gets up to speed and I’ve really wanted to fix it. I’m going to inspect it for this. What model is shown in this video?

Matcha’s on the way to becoming the next phonograph guru.

Hey i need my edison phonograph fix it keeps slowing down when i play a cylinder could you help me

Question….My cabinet is very alligatored in the finish. Will this process remove the alligatoring? I actually want to keep the alligatoring look. Thanks!!
