The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Hi
I wanted to see if anyone had the process of restoring a viva tonal reproducer? There are a lot of good threads on the Orthophoic ones but. Can't find much on these.
They look rather easy to do but I wanted to ask here. Also of you have any pcs of the before and after or the process, that would be great.

I had trouble trying to find a replacement red rubber insulator shown in one of the pictures. Mine wasn't completely hardened, and so I used some silicone sealent when reassembling it. It seems to play very well.
Good luck with your project.
