Edison DD C-150 Before & After

Post by colmike1 »

Here is one of the phonos I rescued from a barn in Illinois in 2017. The only thing I did to the case is a quick cleaning with Goop. Amazing difference.

Looks like you cleaned the grill cloth too. How did you do that? The machine looks wonderful.

I, actually, did absolutely nothing with the grill cloth. It may be the lighting or the fact that the case is now so much darker than it was. The trick to this phonograph is that I took my time. I let the Goop sit on there for a very long time before I started working it out. Seems to have lifted all the dirt and rehydrated the case as well. I couldn't be more pleased with the results.
