We service any make/model of antique (wind-up) phonograph.
Reproducer Services
Over time, the reproducer (soundbox) gaskets will dry and crack, causing your phonograph to sound tinny, distorted, etc. Our
reproducer servicing includes a complete cleaning of all parts (including the diaphragm), new gaskets, new bearings and resealing of the spider joints (on orthophonics), reassembly, adjustment, and testing. Additional parts (new back flange, new diaphragm, etc.) are extra if needed.
