It has been a while since the rejuvenation of Edison Amberola 1-A Serial #2, and the nickel plated Class M. I have not been losing sleep over anything lately, and I am outwardly asking for a new project to obsess over.
My future project requirements:
A. I want something to restore that needs severe attention. Barn-basement-attic-shed finds WELCOME! Bird droppings on lid? .......ALL THE BETTER!
B. It must be more than somewhat significant. No Birch suitcase models need apply....
C. I am willing to purchase the project machine, or restore for customer.
D. It should be *mostly* complete.
I do not want something that needs just a spritz & and wipe.

Re: I need something to RESTORE
I've got a really beat "mae west" Sonora that could conceivably be restored... missing the tone-arm and reproducer and grille, but motor is intact...
Just have to get it from Scranton to where you are...

Re: I need something to RESTORE
I get a good number of my resto projects on craigslist for very little money. I think that is what I actually collect- projects.

If you're looking for a real challenge, you could take a trip to Iran to find and restore the Columbia Multiplex Grand…

Re: I need something to RESTORE
Wyatt,
My Expert Minor horn still needs attention. Awaiting restoration of the cabinet before I proceed further, as I think you'll need the horn secured in it's socket to properly do the job. It's a challenge, and certainly meets all of your criteria. So, the question obviously is: Are you up for it?

Re: I need something to RESTORE
I think I have found you a worthwhile project.
