That is a nice L door! I think you did well, and the records are very nice too!

I netted about 40 acoustics. Not bad at all!

For parts, I like to deal with people and develop a relationship. I like Ron Sitko and Dwayne Wyatt at Wyatt's Musical Americana for reproduction parts and George Vollema's Great Lakes Phonograph Company for original parts. I buy very little from ebay sources. Jerry Blais

Thank you. That sounds like sage advice. Of course, I recently became a member of CAPS (Canadian Antique Phonograph Society). Finding a network is most important.

You may also want to check our "links" section. There you can find many of the places Jerry mentioned and even a CAPS link.

I took the tonearm off. Amy I missing something? I was expecting ball bearings.

Nope, there are no ball bearings in the early Victrola tone arms. Your tone arm is a holdover from the horn machines. Jerry B.
