The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello,

Do any of you happen to know of an excellent machine shop in the Mid-Atlantic region, preferably the greater D.C./Baltimore/Philadelphia area, that is willing to take on smaller jobs, as well as larger ones? The work will require precision grinding, milling, and also a large lathe. Someone with a background in phonograph repair would be preferred. If you know of anyone, please respond to this thread or send me a private message.

Thanks!

Garret

Well, what specific tasks do you need done?

1. I need a spindle shaft shortened, but with a specific taper.
2. Broken screw drilled out, preserving threads if possible (have original replacement screw)
3. Crank shaft modified from male to female threads, with addition of extension piece, to accommodate a male crank

Hope that helps!

1. Simple enough on a lathe.
2. Drilled and popped with an easy-out.
3. More lathe work with a male/female adapter.
Shoot me a P.M.
