Who did the excellent refinish job on the one machine?

A friend of mine who has knowledge on wood finishes.

Is your friend anywhere near Michigan and do they take on work from others?

Hello Jerry,

I am located in San Diego, CA. Yes, he does.

I guess I should say that I own a few record changers of a later age: early 40's. One of them is the 1941 Philco "Beam of Light" record changer and the other is the 1942 V-225 "Magic Brain" Victrola radio phonograph. It is well illustrated in this video:

Marc,

The 1941 Philco "Beam of Light" record changer is a great machine. I like the looks of them. The 1942 V-225 "Magic Brain" Victrola radio phonograph is definitely interesting.

Thank you for posting the video.

For those who like early appliances. Here is my next project. 1927 General Electric Dual Door Refrigerator next to the 1927 Victor 10-50. As you can see they are both BIG! After this is restored, it will be placed in the kitchen. There will come a time that I will need a larger home ,

Here is a photo of the replacement collar around the tone arm. The original are made of pot metal.
