The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just picked up a 8-12 that plays good except the springs need to be cleaned and new lube applied. Who can handle this type of job and what is a ball park cost? Machine is in Dallas area.

There is a links section on the board that will point you to several people who can help you. The most frequently cited repair persons for this sort of work are Ron Sitko, George Vollema, and Walt Sommers. Best to contact them for prices, making sure they know what machine you have.
