Before and after restoration of Columbia Grafonola

[S610]

Nice work! Even if the results aren't "perfect," you learned a lot. That knowledge will serve you well when you do your next restoration!

Thanks to everyone that shared kind words. And yes I did learn a lot! Fortunately there are plenty of excellent youtube videos on restoring antiques. (BTW I am female)

@vintagetenor thanks again for the album! The songs you selected are excellent, here it is playing the "Japanese Sandman" by Paul Whitman

PLEASE, do not play records that way. The reproducer goes to the right side of the turntable. What you're doing destroys records.

Good to know! I tried that because when the needle was on the right it stayed on the outer edge and never played even after 2-3 tries. I must have been setting it down wrong. Will keep the needle on the right.
