Long throat Concerts have to be pressed apart. This process ruins the mica, but it is the only way. I had to make up a hardwood set of dies to accomplish pressed the housings apart. Br careful of the needle bar. the wire has to be de-soldered from the tip and is held to the front housing with one thin tension spring from the inside. George Great Lakes Antique Phonographs

How do you remove the outer ring from a Victor Concert reproducer? The one I have has a knurled outer ring.and is not the long throat type . Does it screw off or is it pressed on. Trying to turn it in either direction with modest pressure has not not worked. DON AC7PD _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org
