Re: Advice on BF
Steven Medved in Florida is the guy to send your reproducer to. I had him rebuild my lyric and he was not only reasonable, he did a fantastic job. I love my BF... I'm sure you will too.

Re: Advice on BF

Well, mine isn't a 2/4 minute machine, so I doubt the reproducer would be the same…JerryVan wrote:Mine looks like the one shown here, (and it works).
