The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hello,

I would like to ask for suggestions for a 'museum quality' restorer --- someone really experienced. I am new to collecting and happened to get a rare phonograph that is needs some restoration. Can anyone refer me to someone who can do mechanical restoration and cabinet work? I am looking for someone who has technical knowledge and also knows correct finishes for vintage phonographs. Not sure if one person does both or maybe one person would do the mechanical restoration and another the woodwork. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, welcome to the forum!

If you want to have the cabinet restored, it won't come cheap. You can
do a pretty good job at home if you are so inclined. Can I ask what the
machine in question is and if you have some pictures too that would be great.
