The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Well Im at it again with my Nifty Nirona toy phonograph!!

I am in need of a governor for the Nifty Nirona block motor. The small brass / fiber drive gear on the governor has come loose from the shaft. I tried glue but didnt hold well. The fiber gear is centered by 2 brass gears. When winding the spindle gear just spins the motor down immediately without the governor moving.

I'll even take the whole motor if you have one!

Please let me know!
Thanks!

Guy, I think this needs to be repaired by an expert with proper tools.... Have you considered to send the axis and loose pinion to such an expert? Someone here could make a new pinion and insert it properly on the axis for you ... Don't dismay, there are colleagues herein that know how to do that. Just wait... And if n nobody answers, insist.

Now the fiber gear is damaged. Just an update. Now will definitely need a new governor shaft. Please let me know everyone! Thanks!!
