Re: Victor Concert
Hi
This type of sound box? To take this apart you will have to sacrifice the mica. First remove the needle bar, then remove the mica by breaking it. Then you need to clamp the reproducer in a vice with wooden jaws, use a wooden dowel and gently tap through where the mica use to be, working in circles close to the outer edge to release it evenly, keep tapping away, just watch that when it comes free that it does not hit a concrete floor
Regards Marcel

Re: Victor Concert
I believe this procedure is described in The Compleat Talking Machine by Eric Reiss. Look for a second or later edition. I Know it is not in the first.

Re: Victor Concert
It is possible to disassemble the Victor Concert reproducer without damaging any part by using a simple tool, a diagram of which I have attached. I do not presently have a Concert reproducer so I can not add any dimensions. It is simply a steel tube, bored out on a lathe and anyone who can do this work can easily establish the dimensions as long as they have a Concert reproducer.In use, the reproducer slips into the tool until the edge of the reproducer body contacts the ledge inside the tool. If the tool is struck as shown, the body will naturally want to move to the left, but the inertia of the tube end will want to prevent it from moving and it will be pulled out.It is a handy tool for anyone who works on the reproducers as they can be repeatedly opened if necessary.
I hope the diagram copies clearly.
