In response to a lot of you dought sayers on the restoration of the diamond
disc phono. I think , for one it is beter to restore than to junk! I like that
they replaced the veneer, rather than try to patch the existing ,and look like
Shit , like a lot of restorations look like. I fix and restore a lot of radios
, phonographs and some juke boxes for myself and freinds, and I don't do shitty
work. I won't do anything that I wouldn't want for myself, as far as finished
quality. I get some terrible stuff from supposedly restorers who are on
registered websites
, that I would be ashamed to ask money for.You people need to get a life and
not criticise people who are trying to keep something going on for others to
enjoy instead of destroy , or tear apart and sell in pieces rather than sell as
good working machine.
I realize that there are alot of machines that are good for nothing but parts.
I believe that we should try to keep thees machines going for eterninty,
but they should work and look good not beat up and cobbled up! Stop being like
a bunch of old women at a quilting bee, bitching about old men! Thank you! Mr.
Voisine.
