Ron, I doubt you and Mike are the only people left on this list. But I’ve only run into problems like yours twice. One was a Busy Bee disc phono. I did find a problem with binding in the governor gearing, but I think a weak spring was the real problem. Also, my Edison Opera stopped working after

Charles Edison ran it until 1957. Then he sold it to McGraw Electric, and the merger was called McGraw Edison. As I recall, McGraw was a big admirer of Edison and it was him who made the offer to buy. Of course, Charles was doing other things while he was running his father’s company, such as Se
