Yes Bob, the motor was super clean, the only things I have done to it so far was clean and polish the cabinet (it had been stored and inactive for the past 9 years or so), and give the gears a good oiling. I am checking on several sources for good repro 5" cylinders, and there are several sources including Wyatt's for the 14" Aluminum horns. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bob" <[email protected]> To: "Antique Phonograph List" <phono-l at oldcrank.org> Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 11:57 AM Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Price for a Columbia AB McDonald
