I hope the list can provide Mike Tucker with the information he needs. He sent me some photos of reproduction M electric motors that look perfect in every detail. He has an extra one for sale and I would endorse it for anyone missing the original motor. Once installed I doubt you could tell the difference from an original except for the missing 100+ years of grime. These were not inexpensive to make in small number but are well worth the price when one considers the rarity of the M electric phonographs; and, a complete running machine is vastly desirable over a non-functioning one.

Steve Farmer. There is no one better at reproducing the unusual metal finishes on old Edison and Victor machines. He did a beautiful job recreating the oxidized copper finish on my Victor R.
