Restoration my G&T machine ! Monarch ?

[kropton]

I would like all to show a restoration of my GT phonograph.
I bought this for about 300$ in Poland.

Work that was taken :

- Totally cleaned case and metal parts from thick old shellack …
- Make new 2 columns and replica of ornament.
- Fully rebuild the motor .
- Replaced broken bullet brake arm
- Instalation new bracket from “Neilmack” user

I’m still waiting for a felt and rubber legs.

What’s exactly number name of this model ?
German G&T machines don’t have id tag, it have only number and celluloid disc – Writting Angel

Dzień dobry!

It is the Deutsche Grammophon version of the "Cockleshell Monarch" ca 1904-1910. You have done an amazing job of restoration. Good that you were able to find the correct back bracket.

The "Cockleshell Monarch" was almost identical except for the decorations on the 3 sides.

Thanks
What do you think about the replica right side decoration ?

The decoration looks great. You can hardly see a difference to the original. What kind of material did you use?

Very nice work, kropton! Molding new parts was very smart. I was expecting perhaps to see a European style "plate and pillar" motor, but the design of this one looks nearly or completely identical to the motor in an American Victor III. It is a good design and should play well for another 100 years.

I used polyurethane resin and stain varnish.
Yes, motor is identical like in a victor II Humpback, it's european verion of Victor.
