Ah. Now that we're talking about British antique cars I can mention my 1965 Morgan Plus 4. It's built like an antique phonograph and is just as much fun to fix! When I want to grease the front end I just step on a button on the floor and hot oil from the crankcase sprays the front end joints. Reminds me of the oil ports on an Edison disc machine! It was designed in 1936 and really hasn't changed much since then. Since it's British I would have to travel with my HMV 460 Lumiere in the passenger seat. Now THAT I'm not willing to do. There would be no room for anything but the Lumiere! And I can just see the Lumiere diaphraghm bouncing around on a rough road! Forget that!! The Morgan has stagecoach leaf springs in the rear! I started and ended my car collection with the Morgan. I put a pit in my garage and even built an extra garage for the car "collection" and then decided that phonographs were just as interesting and were more of a year round hobby. So that's where I am at present. But I love both the phonos and Morgan. ---Art Heller

My "Mr. Fixit" (aka Ron L'Herault) sent the spring to APSCO, but they can't make one. Do any of you have a junker Mikky Phone you'd be willing to part out? I could also use the reproducer, but that not as critical -- the one I have will do until a better one comes along. Thanks!

It is not the small one that stored in a circular metal can.
