I got asked by a web visitor where he could get an Edison Home repaired in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area. Come to think of it, that would be useful knowledge for myself as well. Is there anyone local who can do phonograph repair?

Thanks! In-Reply-To: <[email protected]> Message-ID: <[email protected]> I would definitely NOT recommend shrink wrap, as you need to use a heat gun to make it conform to the item being wrapped, with definite risk to the finish. Stretch wrap is a much better option, as it conforms to the item cold, and sticks to itself, creating a 'hermetically sealed' item that will stay securely closed in shipping.
