[Phono-L] If it ain't broke.... (was Amberola A-VI help)

[Dennis Back]

From: Mike Stitt
Leave 'em alone until it really needs to be helped by you or me. I wish
collectors would leave them untouched if not broken. 50 years from now if
not sooner some new collector will say who the hell put nylon in a 150 year
old machine

I agree with you.  My late father used to say, "Fix it up, shine, polish is up, so it will run and  look just like new."

I only took his advice one time (on an antique wooden camera).  My phonographs mostly have original finishes and unpolished brass.
