Recommendations for repairs, East Coast?
Posted: Wed Dec 26, 2018 11:14 am
Happy Holidays everybody! I am getting a jump start on some New Year's projects. I have ended up with a few machines over the past year or so that need attention.
Early Columbia Grafonola Floor Model (1914-ish) Motor Service
Edison Home (model C reproducer) Motor and Reproducer Service
Edison Standard (model C reproducer) Motor and Reproducer Service
Harmony Front Mount Phonograph (similar to Aretino/Busy Bee) Missing Reproducer, Needs Motor Service
I hope I am not opening up a "can of worms" but can anybody recommend or share some brief reviews of persons/companies with a good reputation for motor rebuild/service and reproducer rebuilding/servicing. Note: I am in NC so I would think the East Coast would make more sense for shipping costs. Maybe we could even meet up at a show and do an exchange....
My goal would be to have an arrangement where we tackle one motor or reproducer at a time.... I just don't want to see these things sit around another year gathering dust. I plan to tackle the cabinet refinishing.
Also: always willing to trade/barter for Granby/Leviola off brand memorabilia/phonographs - any condition priced accordingly
