MicaMonster now rebuilding Orthophonic reproducers!

Post by barnettrp21122 »

MicaMonster's begun rebuilding Orthophonic reproducers again, and I'm one of the first fortunate ones to have the latest one. I sent him three bronze ones in various stages of condition and he took useable parts from all to make a really nice-looking and fine-sounding example!

Not only was the work excellent, but the entire turnaround including shipping back and forth was just around eight days! Your results may vary, but in the light of other technicians doing this work that's quite remarkable!
I checked with him before posting this information, making sure he's happy to take on more work! To me the price was reasonable considering the excellent workmanship and communications throughout the process.

Here's a link to his experiences with Orthos: http://www.lagparty.org/~wyatt/rebuild-orthophonic.html

Good health and long life to such a technician, ranking up there with my car mechanic and barber! :lol:

I'm bumping this post to echo Bob's statements of praise. I sent Wyatt a couple last week and got them back Wednesday. The results are stunning to say the least. I highly recommend Wyatt if you want the best possible results from your orthophonic soundboxes.
