Yes. We were asked by the Gene Autry Museum to restore their Multiphone for free. That was a costly eight month project when we did one for Knott's Berry Farm. We have restored several phonographs for museums and most are happy to pay and just are just glad to find someone who can do it. We try to give them a better deal to support them. Only the larger museums want it for free. The others do not.
