Steve has done repairs on my reproducers. He is the best in the business and so 
reasonable. I can see why he is so swamped. He is a true asset to the hobby.

[Phono-L] Steve Medved Repair

2014-04-19 Thread john robles
Hello all
Just wanted to tell you (as if I had to) of the marvelous repair Steve Medved 
did on my Edison Model O reproducer.  It sounded fine from the time I got it on 
ebay, but the stem broke free from the stylus bar assembly, and it turned out 
it had been repaired before (badly).  Steve recognized the reproducer by its 
number 9he told me he records serial numbered reproducers that appear on ebay) 
and it had been auctioned by a man who told Steve that he had completely 
rebuilt it. Whoever bought it from him put it back on ebay 6 months later, 
which is when I bought it.  I suspect they did the bad repair and were trying 
to get rid of it. 
Steve took a new stem made by (Is it public knowledge, Steve?) which is just 
like the original, and made the repair, which involved much more than just 
gluing it in.  He also salvaged the original indicator knob and pointer from my 
original O and applied that to it!  He polished the diaphragm, which gleams 
like new, and made it airtight, which it was not before.

The reproducer sounds excellent, works just like new.  Thanks Steve, for 
another high quality repair.  I give you 5 stars!
