I will soon be selling an absolutely beautiful original Regina Hexaphone model 101. This is a late model 101 which plays 4 minute records (instead of the 2 minute records most 101's were set to play) and has the appropriate 101 mechanism, appropriate reproducer, etc. Hexaphone 101's are not often found. Finish, decal, grill, etc. are original and excellent. Beautiful mechanism with sharp looking nickel, paint, etc. mechanism perfectly clean, and the fiber gear has been replaced with a nice, quiet nylon copy, which is a definite plus. Original glass in front. Original crank. Original coin slot.Virtually pristine unmolested machine. If you have serious interest, please contact me off list and I will send you pictures, pricing, etc. I can ship this machine, but would (of course) prefer to have it picked up near Seattle, Washington. This will be going on Ebay in two weeks if no interest here. Is not being advertised anywhere else. No other machines for sale at this time. Thanks,

Is it save to lubricate that material as you would a metal gear? I am going to take a cue from our politicians, (all of them), and expound on a topic of which my knowledge is very limited. I am an Edison man. Therefore, I have no direct knowledge of fiber gears. However, I once read an article about them which stuck in my memory. The article said that fiber gears can wear out metal gears, because the fiber gears produce abrasive particles as they wear. If you grease this pressed fiber gear, those particles and the grease will form an abrasive goo, which will accelerate the wearing of the metal gear. I would think that greasing a pressed fiber gear would accelerate that gear's deterioration also. Now the real experts can answer your question properly. Randy
