Ron,
Visit a commercial janitorial supply house and pick up a jug of enzyme
carpet/upholstery deodorizer. It will eat the proteins that are causing the
mildew smell, but be careful not to get it on areas that have

I have always believed in keeping my phonographs in as close to original
condition as is possible. Fixing them, but not stripping and restoring
them.
I'm just curious... Is that the norm with most collectors
Depends on the condition.

I vote with Jay. I don't restore unless necessary but I think a machine should
look pleasing. I suppose we all have different definitions of necessary.

I'm just curious... Is that the norm with most collectors on this group or
do you like to restore them to look like new?

I would much rather have a professionally restored machine that looks and
runs great, than an all original fixer upper. Both my Opera and Vic6 are
restored machines, and look just gorgeous, and run so nice. Sometimes you
have to restore something. I would much rather have a restored Rembrandt,
As with any antique or work of art, the least amount of repair/restoration
work that is necessary is always the best course. What is, in fact,
necessary is a matter of professional judgment, of course. And the
definition of what is professional judgment is always a matter for debate.
