I think nylon would solve the immediate problem, and would not be an
irreversible repair.

As long as it plays cylinders well, I would leave it alone.
My two cents worth...

This is the "Ruby Point", invented by Jay Warren Moyer and sold by the Penn
Phonograph Company in 1900 for $1. Unfortunately, the disc is missing its red
stylus. Neat little item - and in a Hawthorne & Sheble "Aluminum Disc" box
which originally housed a similar item.

Leave 'em alone until it really needs to be helped by you or me. I wish
collectors would leave them untouched if not broken. 50 years from now if
not sooner some new collector will say who the hell put nylon in a 150 year
old machine

Not so much a point, actually. Seeing as Edison & Co realized it was a
problem & provided replacements, it's perfectly legit to seek another
replacement today. I see nothing wrong with a better alternative to the
best they had at the time, which was aluminum.

John,
I take your point. I would say however don't worry about wearing the machine
or machines out. I have Victors and Edisons that will run long after I'm
dead, with original grease. Kind of like those cylinders that look like new
100 years later played on original styli. That is the appeal after
That's a point. I bought it because it was so unusual and beautiful, and maybe
the noise is a part of that. but that aluminum gear is going to keep on wearing
down...I like the nylon idea!

It looks like maybe a sapphire holder for a Columbia or Pathe floating
reproducer.
Just my guess.

It has earned them. Funny tho' my beard has gone gray and silver, think I

I understand that the early brass gear was noisy and this aluminum replacement
wore out. Why didn't they make it of steel? Aluminum seems a stupid choice.
There must be a way to remedy this.Maybe I need to go find an old fashioned
machine shop or a clock gear maker!

Hello all
I have a beautiful Amberola A-VI with that loud aluminum gear - anyone suggest
any fixes or methods of quieting it? With the lid down it is ok, but I am
thinking of having a new gear made.
Anyone got a junker with a gear that's not too badly worn? This is a beautiful
and interesting ma
I have the same problem with mine. Did anybody make a reproduction?

I would think nylon would make a strong and quiet gear, rather than cutting
replacements from metals.
