Before anyone buys it, make sure you have a source for the replacement potmetal parts. I heard somebody say that Charlie had quit making them.

Yes, I learn't this to my cost and had to have the record size selector gear system custom made as Charlie had run out of those parts... I won't tell you how much bespoke gears cost to makeAZ* wrote:Before anyone buys it, make sure you have a source for the replacement potmetal parts.

that machine has been relisted... isn't that nick's, from california? if it were closer and I wasn't moving, I'd give it some thought at that price - it seems like a decent machine, despite the refinishing (and the pot metal parts - although I've seen very few of these for sale that actually had the replacement gearing installed for the changer - I imagine people hold onto them, I would).
