[Phono-L] How to 'wax' a Victor Exhibition 2 soundbox?

[Ron L'Herault]

The wax should just surround the outside of the screw inside the reproducer,
and on the outside the wax should be on the screw threads and just surround
the outer edge of the needle bar.  I usually heat mine up with a small tip
soldering iron.  I think it is to make an air seal and to keep the screw
from vibrating loose.

To all you phono-phanatics more knowledgeable than I (pretty much all  
of you):

I rebuilt an Exhibition 2 soundbox with new gaskets and a new  
diaphragm. What a difference! But I'm not sure I got the drop of wax  
in the right position on the screw and the diaphragm. If I understand  
what should happen it should not just ball up on the head of the  
screw, it should flow around the screw and onto the diaphragm. That  
way there's a good transfer of the vibrations. I don't think I have  
it right yet. How far onto the diaphragm should it flow? Any hints  
how to do it?

If you have a good picture of how it should look, feel free to email  
one to met.

Thanks you very much.
