Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Amberola Spring Re-greasing question
Gently spring enough tabs to allow just popping the cover off. Scotch brite
the spring to remove all the ossified graphite and Vaseline that is hanging
it up. Relube with a high grade large clock spring lube or something like
this

Hello all
I have a question. I have an Amberola 75 that I got a a possible
trade/sale machine later on. For now I am keeping it. The springs are badly
in need of lubrication, and the leaves are coming apart as the machine plays
with noisy results. The springs may even need replacement. I have not
regreased Amberola springs before, and I see that the barrels are held
closed with metal tabs. To clean and grease the spring you have to unbend
them. Anyone done this with successful results (i.e. not breaking the tabs
while bending)? I am tempted to buy another good spring barrel assembly
with quiet, well greased springs for $95 as opposed to doing it myself. If I
send it out, it would cost me over $100 to have it done by someone else. I
do spring replacement jobs on Edison phonos, but I don't like doing it!
What's your advice?
John Robles
