Give me a call. I have two Orthophonic Credenzas, if I can be of any help.

Also, the volume is low so I know the sound box needs some tech help. Is there someone in the Toronto area or Southern Ontario who can help?

Another thing: The ID plate states "Credenza" not 8-30 and yet the platter is positioned on the right hand side with the record shelf on the left. Could this be a hybrid machine from two different years?

Many thanks.
Thank, James. I just sent my producer off the Peter Wall in San Francisco. We had a long chat over the phone and things look very promising. He thinks it might be a simple matter of fixing the ball bearings. He also has a nice #2 reproducer for my v-50. I'll give you a call when I have everything back home. It would be great to hear some else's verdict on the results.

I will have to recommend Peter Wall as well, he did great work on my 8-35 reproducer.
I had him do my reproducer as well. He took my POS and made it work. There is no way it was gonna come apart, so he just did his best. Soft tone needles it's a-ok. He is a unique person.
