Recently decided to repair an Amberola 30 that I have had for about 20 years, originally purchased new by my Great-Grandmother. This is my first attempt at working on an old phonograph, have been learning a lot on this site.
Anyway, am looking to purchase a mainspring and a (what I call) mandrel spring, see photos.
Someone tried to torch-weld the mainspring and one of the mandrel springs is broken.
If no one here has theses things, could you point me in the right direction.

When I finish this, I'll start on my upright Columbia Graponola.

Thanks,
Vern.

I think Wyatt's Musical Americana or Ron Sitko are your best bet for reproduction replacement parts. You can't go wrong with either one. If you'll send a PM, I'll forward contact information. Jerry Blais
