Edison Amberola 30 - Something New...

Nice job on the ratchet repair. Those springs can be difficult to repair. I once had a generic disc machine that had the same problem. The biggest difficulty was getting the crank out so I could get the motorboard out because there was no access like on a Victor. The tail had broken off of the spring so I unwound a turn and made a new one. Once I got it fixed I sold the machine very quickly.

Got the new spring in the mail today, installed it, put it all back together, and it works just fine and dandy!

Call me Mr Happy!
