Both of my C-2s have been "restored" but do not play well. Can you all recommend someone who really knows how to work on them? (I have a 3rd, but the restorer kept its chassis which was incomplete & I've been uable to get him to return it.) Through the Edison Radio using the C-2 turntable & pickup, Diamond Discs sound great!
