I think it was the record, if you listen toward the middle of the record, her voice does not warble. I did not observe any flutter on other records I played either.

I agree: either that particular cylinder was partially out of round, or perhaps irregularities in the plaster may have kept it from sitting true on the mandrel (in which case, careful reaming might help)....

Incredibly beautiful machine!

Thanks for all the compliments! I'll be sending my model L reproducer to Steve Medved next week, and the diamond A after that's done. I can't wait to hear it once they are rebuilt!
