Brunswick Reproducer rebuildable?

Post by Ho_Hum »

I recently got a portable Brunswick 109 but I have heard the pot metal in these reproducers is especially prone to cracking, so I was wondering if mine looked like it was able to be repaired and sound good considering it’s condition.

It looks as if it would be rebuildable. How does it sound now? Most Brunswick Panatrope reproducers really don't need rebuilding.

It’s very rattly with very poor bass. I wouldn’t do it myself, probably send it to wyatt after the job he did with my credenza reproducer.

I sent mine to Steven Medved last year due to an incident with my ornery cat. Ask him or Wyatt Markus I haven’t been able to get any rebuilt by him yet due to money being tight around here.

Sounds like a good plan. :)
