Four more back to life

Post by MTPhono »

Thank you Wyatt Markus for the great service and work - I now have all 4 Diamond Disc players back to life. Excellent work at a fair price and done quickly - what more could be asked for? Highly recommended!

Nice lineup! And good to have them all in top-notch playing condition.
Lately I've put a very small label (easily removed) underneath my serviced reproducers so I can keep track of what's been done:

There is no substitute for quality or good workmanship. If you could zoom out a bit it would be nice to see that Edison Concert and cabinet.

Ditto. I routinely send batches of reproducers to Wyatt and as soon as they return I put I.D. tags on them. I've recommended to him that he should have some sort of removable tag or sticker.

Here you go - I may have zoomed out a little far but I already had this picture. If you want more detail pics of the Concert/Cabinet please let me know. The cabinet is a genuine Concert cylinder cabinet. The Concert has a Polyphone setup. I call this "The Oak Room" for obvious reasons.

Great idea - one that I will likely steal from you. Thanks!

Those are awesome machines, I particularly admire the large Under glass cabinet (and I spot the echophone and stollwercks)

It's a Class M under glass - my wife likes it so she allows it in a public part of the house. The rest of the collection is forced into hiding (basement) where she rarely goes.
