The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Thanks for all the nice comments.
This is my first experience with a floor model Viva Tonal , previously having only a portable.
The cabinet is impressive and well constructed and heavy. I like the elegant long curved tone arm assembly.
Sound is very good and this is a fun phonograph to use.
These Harmony records sound particularly good on this machine.
This wasn’t a Facebook find for me , I purchased from another collector.

Contact Mica Monster on here abut re-doing the isolator on your reproducer. He fixed my 810 right up.

Thank you gramophone-georg.
Will do that. You may have noticed the rubber sleeve connecting the reproducer. My thought was to compensate for the lack of a soft rubber isolator. Reproducer is airtight but red gasket rock hard.
Thanks to all for the input.
