Got a new machine today!

Post by GrafonolaG50 »

I got a Brunswick 210 with some original albums and alot of country 78s for 175 today. Someone upgraded the reproducer to an Orthophonic type at some point (it's a Symphonic) and one of the record storage doors has a busted knob. How did I do, and how impossible would a correct reproducer and knob be to find?

Looks like a nice machine. The inside of the lid appears to be walnut but I can't tell for sure. Try to post a photo of the turntable compartment if possible to better illustrate the reproducer situation.

Aftermarket adapter and reproducer. New reproducer and weighted portion of the arm are on the way. Can I rebuild both this and the Brunswick reproducer with Exhibition gasket tubing? Also, what would record albums A and B cost me if I could find them (aside from one on eBay with high shipping)? Both are 12"albums.

How do I get the motor out of this thing? It sits down in a cutout in the center of the top board.

Got the motor out, and all of the grease and everything was still soft and wet, as if it had been serviced in the last 10 or so years. Quiet motor without thumps or bumps or anything. Plus the volume control is great for my apartment.
