I have to chime in here and say I've known Rob for many years and he's a
stand-up guy. Regarding the reproducer John refers to, it sounds like an
unfortunate situation, but it must be some kind of mix-up. Rob works
ridiculously long hours, there are whole periods of time I can't reach him

In February I purchased a Victor VE8-30X. I really wanted one with a spring
motor, but when I visited Ron Haring, of the six or so machines he had (he has
an unbelievable inventory - well worth a visit) one was in such fine condition
that I caved and bought it. Having sold my Victor VV4-3, I
One thing I've been meaning to do to my Credenza that I've heard good things
about is resealing the horn with a 50/50 mixture of glycerine and alcohol.
Ideally it involves removing the motorboard and all fittings (tone arm etc.)
and painting the inside of the horn with the machine upside down,
I will second that...

Another person who make the show great by bringing in nice seldom seen machines
for people to see and learn about. Orlando might not be the largest, but it is
the nicest show. I go there just to see the dealers and I am never
disappointed.

Make sure joints in the horn are air tight.

Boiled linseed oil and real turpentine will work much better. Verify all
joints are tight first.

Which do you think is less invasive? I've always had mixed feelings in the use
of both linseed oil and turpentine, but am willing to have another opinion to
change mine...

Hello Will,
The HMV 5B came with felt gaskets, they sound bad when compared with the Victor

Here is where the glycerin + alcohol comes from.
Boiled linseed oil and real turpentine has been used as a gun stock
finish for years.
Homemade Softener - There's an age old recipe of consisting of 3 parts
water, 2 parts yellow glue, 1 part vegetable glycerin, and 1 part
denatured alcohol.
Glycerine/alcohol was a trick used by hack piano tuners to tighten loose
tuning pins, and has been mostly discredited. Glycerine works by attracting
mositure from the air, so I would expect it to cause wood to constantly
expand contract along with the humidity in the room. I used
The smell kind of grows on you. One thing to keep very firmly in mind
with the linseed oil/turpentine mix is this is the stuff that when
soaked up in rags in a bucket will reliably spontaneously combust. This
is something that is usually applied with a rag pad in small doses.

I do try to keep rooms at a fairly constant humidity, I am a professional
pianist with a better-than-decent grand plus the Credenza, and my two tuners
mentioned the process (neither of whom I would call hacks - if anything,
historical instrument caretakers) in association with their own
