[Phono-L] Capehart Model 1011 M
I have a friend that has a friend that said they had a Capehart tube type radio phonograph that works. She said it might have a few scratches, but other than that it is supposed to work fine. She thought it was bought in the 1940s. Does anyone have any info on this machine? Any idea what could be offered for it? I collect only wind up phonographs, and my friend says if it doesn't have a crank sticking out of it, he can't run it LOL (That is actually more true than not).

[Phono-L] Columbia BC 20th Century
I recently aquired a Columbia B C. The gear that runs the governor had leather recessed in it, which is gone. The governor runs on the edge, where the teeth are. Does anyone make these gear, or have an idea how to deal with this problem? Also does anyone know how to adjust the reproducer. It plays, but not as loud as it should be. Thanks in advance.
