Hello all Just wanted to tell you (as if I had to) of the marvelous repair Steve Medved did on my Edison Model O reproducer. It sounded fine from the time I got it on ebay, but the stem broke free from the stylus bar assembly, and it turned out it had been repaired before (badly). Steve recognized the reproducer by its number 9he told me he records serial numbered reproducers that appear on ebay) and it had been auctioned by a man who told Steve that he had completely rebuilt it. Whoever bought it from him put it back on ebay 6 months later, which is when I bought it. I suspect they did the bad repair and were trying to get rid of it. Steve took a new stem made by (Is it public knowledge, Steve?) which is just like the original, and made the repair, which involved much more than just gluing it in. He also salvaged the original indicator knob and pointer from my original O and applied that to it! He polished the diaphragm, which gleams like new, and made it airtight, which it was not before.
The reproducer sounds excellent, works just like new. Thanks Steve, for another high quality repair. I give you 5 stars! John Robles _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.org
