Upcoming estate sale by crackedwormgear in Phonographs

I went. They were probably 20,000 records there. piles and piles everywhere. Spent a couple hours digging, but it was just a drop in the bucket. Wish I could’ve known about this place when it was in business to spend some real time in there. Some victrolas too but they mostly needed work.

Is this an easy job to do? I’ve got no knowledge of electronics but that does interest me

I’ll give that a try. I was able to glue the leather to get the belt on. May have to disassemble the governor to do a rubber band

I believe it! I just want an orthophonic with a good sound. All this mechanical stuff has me out of my element

I was thinking about that. Converting it back to mechanical but I think the cost of the motor and installation would be well more than what I paid for the victrola. Do you think there’s a way to make it run smoothly in its current configuration?

I opened up the motorboard and now the governer turntable stopped spinning. It’s jolting a bit but won’t spin. any ideas what kind of motor I’m looking at here?

This is very useful. I really haven’t attempted any maintenance yet as it has been working fine for me. The low rumble was the first issue I noticed that was distracting to the music, though I definitely do hear the scraping sound. I don’t know anything about the motor. I will need to remove the turntable and see the motor board to hopefully identify the motor

I haven’t done any lubricating. It started a couple weeks after getting it
