Do I have to repair my reproducer? Tell me what do you think

Here are some videos of my Edison Home with an H reproducer playing a couple of songs. Please tell me if it sounds OK to you or do I have to repair the H reproducer. What do you think?

Presuming you're playing cylinders that don't have play-worn grooves then, according to what I hear in the loud passages in the first and last selections, it sounds like the gaskets need replacing. The stylus itself sounds fine especially in the second (or middle) selection.

Seconded: replacing the gaskets would certainly improve the reproduction.

Thank you guys for the info, I just finished the reproducer (new gasket, diaphragm and stylus) here are some videos, the last cylinder is not in great shape as you can hear but the song is a good one. I'm quite happy with the results.
