The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello, I've been trying to get parts from someone who I've ordered needles from before, but he is not answering his email. Where do you guys get parts from? Thanks!

Search the forum for Ron Sitko or George Vollema, they are the guys most of us use.

Ron Sitko also sets up at most of the major phonograph shows. I'm sure he'll be at the Wayne show in October.

Ron Sitko is the best supplier for many phonograph parts.

I used to get them from Antique Phonograph Supply Company in New York, and also would get them from Wyatt's Musical Americana. However, it seems they do not have as many original parts anymore.

I have used George Vollema and Ron Sitko, they have usually came through with parts for me. If I am correct, George now has increased his storage of more parts, I think he bought parts out from a retired repair shop.

I have found both to be excellent. They are my number 1 choices.

Anyone have Ron Sitko's website if available?

Ron doesn't have a website - just a phone number - 518-371-8549.

For what it's worth, I use Ron for new parts and consumables since he makes most of them himself, while I tend to use George for original parts as he has an enormous stock of them.

Yep I agree that Ron and George are two of the best parts suppliers!
Ron is old school. No website, no email. Ron works strictly via telephone
and written letters sent in the mail. But he is first-rate, and a true
gentleman! So is George, and he even uses email!
