Michael,
Thanks for the reply, I think that most motor noise comes from worn gears and I
have had good results by adding Vaseline to an early Victor motor with a lot of
gear noise, just as Ron suggested. I think the A machines have more noise
because they were used longer, just my idea as

How odd then that oiling gear teeth was recommended in Edison's
instruction sheets. It's been a while since all those mechanical
engineering courses, but I don't recall anything about dissimilar
metal gears being self lubricating. I even pulled out my
Machinery's Handbook just to make

Try this then. Why do you suppose that The Edison Co. went to all of the
trouble to build motors
where there was a brass gear meshed with a steel gear? It is not an
accident. Look at any Edison
motor

The rubber washers were mentioned. These isolate vibration and should be
as soft as possible.
Natural rubber or sorbothane is a good replacement. Replacements can be
made with a set of gasket

] Re: Noisy Home
Edison used soft rubber to isolate the upper bed plate from the lower one to
reduce noise transfer, on my Triumph I used inner tube for the washers and
rubber from a toilet plunger to put between the upper and lower bedplate.
On my A the crank was touching the escutcheon
Edison used pure latex rubber. You can buy the stuff from McMaster Carr.
Better choice is the
Sorbothane I referenced previously. If the suspension is properly adjusted the
crank does not contact
the case and should be centered in the hole.
It is important to remember that these

Hi Dan,
I know two other people who found little used phonos and they are very quiet.
You are very lucky, indeed. On the triumph you can tell how much it was played
by the small brass gears.

I've got a noisy home, and the kids are already in bed.
Well...an Edison Home (Banner case), that is.
I've tried most of the tricks and can't seem to quiet it. The noise seems
mostly associated with the pulley shaft and it's associated gears or
bearings. But...everything looks true
