Yes, I was going to suggest that as well. I replaced a spring on my Brunswick Panatrope crank style a couple of years ago and it was as simple as that. Just removing the motor gave you access to the springs so you could replace the broken one.

The owner said he would take $3900 for it (less than the original asking price!). The flash lightened the color a bit. The picture where the horn is resting on the bell is what it actually looks like, all nice orig finish. The mahine is completely original and untouched except for some hinge screws that have been replaced and also the reproducer was regasketed some years back with black gasket amterial. The flange is original. http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/VV-XXV/ John Robles From [email protected] Fri Feb 20 05:03:49 2009 From: [email protected] (Glenn Longwell) Date: Fri Feb 20 05:03:56 2009 Subject: [Phono-L] Grafonola De Luxe value References: <851930669.140431235059462461.javamail.r...@sz0113a.westchester.pa.mail.comcast.net> Message-ID: <[email protected]> Thanks.?

So, how has this economic disaster we are in affected our hobby? Common machines are selling for less than they did 20 years ago. Better ones are holding some value, but even they are down from a few years ago. Are the truly rare phonos, that usually trade privately between collectors, still selling to collectors with deep pockets? Is the hobby declining in interest from new collectors? Are phonos selling at the shows? Any comments along these lines would be interesting to hear.

At a local auction last week, a black case Gem, the lid to which was falling apart, went for $400. Another bidder ponied up over $600 for an incomplete home with a (nice) O reproducer.
