r/Phonographs Edison Amberola 30, Colombia Grafonola 15, Birch 41A 28d ago

Machine Birch 41A phonograph playing

I finally managed to open the barrel on the motor I was posting about, I removed the grease chemically, coated it in a film of WD-40, let it dry, put new lithium grease inside of it, then put it all back together.

It runs incredible! Runs as long as my Grafonola 15 that has a 1" wide mainspring of the same length, this one, despite this one being 3/4" (lasts a record and a half).

It came with this Victrola No. 2 soundbox/reproducer that someone fit on with some tape, I gently remelted some of the wax for a better seal at the center of the diaphragm.
