The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Here are a few Edison reproducers I just got back from being rebuilt. An Edison Model-S, ans Edison Model-N, ans Edison Automatic, an Edison Model-B, and an Edison Model-D, all cane out beautiful and play great.

Nice, they look great!

Who did the work?

Steve Medved, he's the best.

I send all of my reproducers to Steve -- not just because his work is meticulous (he's an aircraft mechanic for a living) -- but because he is compiling data about design and build characteristics of every Edison reproducer on which he works. He does the work with no charge for labor, only needed parts and shipping. I don't mean to take work away from other capable repairpersons (and there are others), but Steve is contributing invaluable research for our hobby.

Now I see why he's so backed-up: people are sending 5 at a time.
