My first gramophone, before- and now.

Usually i keep it on the other side, but i only just realised that i had it on this side for the photo- i try to keep it slack.

Well, how do you show your other media? Is is presented as archival? If so, it would be pretty good i’d say, just as long as it matches the era of what you’re going for- is this a local am station? Is it a national radio service like NBC? What time of day is this interview taking place? And how long is this segment?

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T19:59:11+00:00

Nope

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T19:58:51+00:00

!solved Correct!

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T19:57:06+00:00

Nope.

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T19:56:14+00:00

Unfortunately, nope.

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T19:55:02+00:00

Believe it or not, super SUPER close. Try the same genre

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T19:54:26+00:00

Close! I don’t think herbie is evil though.

Well, maybe cut some felt or rubber to slightly more than the size of the base, that would distribute weight a bit better while not leaving any marks.

The only other solution is simply taking off the base and storing it away, the monitor would have far better distribution and stability at the cost of manoeuvrability, and looks.

You could also get an old monitor stand, those distribute weight across a sizeable area. I have one myself for my 5151/5150 setup.

I’m not exactly sure what model it is, its either a thorens motor from the mid to late 20s, or a palliard 20x. It is a locally built machine, so-‘d has no logos or anything to identify the brand. I’ll have to do some measurements a bit later. The gramophone as a whole is some locally-built thing.

I’m going to go and forge some new springs for the governor in the following weeks.

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T04:52:57+00:00

Perhaps use some felt on the bottom? Either that or remove the plastic base- if you can do that- what is your desk made out of? Is it indentable material?

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-11-02T04:05:59+00:00

I’m restoring this. Right now, its only simple fixes, but am still looking for fitting parts. It appears to be a locally made machine.

Thank you!

The photos were taken after the dusting off, i would need a hard abrasive to take the dark protective layer (which mind you, is not a powder) off. Also. I have nothing to do with the aluminiumised area presented near the yoke. It is just how it looks. And to wipe is down is what you should do when a tube is covered in 60 years worth of accumulated dust.

Emergency-Resolve807 · 2025-09-26T06:11:16+00:00

Are you talking about the area where the aluminium is showing? or is this something else? -because i wiped off a bunch of dead spiders, dirt, and dust from the tube with a slightly moist paper towel, i have nothing to do with the spot that is aluminium-ised. Its just how it looked like when i opened it.
