What a delight you are. Thanks for this - I am new to gramophone innards, but fairly familiar with old clocks - so I guess it’s only natural. Am currently inside a “Swiss Manufacture no. 6” with a stamped logo - oval shape with a cross and an “S” ? No clue. The jury’s still out, but it’s great fun and I hope to get it singing again. I fell for the peculiar wood cabinet and its name “Jazz-O-Phone” painted on the front. It’s a tragic mess - but great fun to play with. Thanks again - you are incredible.
hey i have seen you in the repair shop i watched the phonograph and gramophone restoration just saying that you did a great job and probably with this one too as i havent watched the video yet
Bonjour, je suis Français et je suis tombé par hasard sur votre chaîne . Mais tout d'abord permettez- moi de vous dire que le tableau dans votre cuisine est absolument magnifique j'adore.. Hello, I am French and I stumbled upon your channel. But first let me tell you that the painting in your kitchen is absolutely beautiful I love..
Hello I have a question about the spring. There is a wire around the spring. Isn't it easier to put the spring halfway in the house than to cut the wire. Then push the spring further into the box? My father hurt himself badly because the spring has come apart. I would like to hear from you. The film is very interesting. Thank you
Hi Jon. No, I'm afraid I've never got round to it yet - I had a new hip in May and that kept me out of the workshop for a while; now I'm catching up on the backlog of repairs for customers. One day I'll have time to finish my own projects!
Wonderful video! What type of grease would you recommend, and where did you purchase your new spring from? I’m currently in the process of restoring one myself 😅
Thank you! Springs I source from Ko Notenboom at www.zwarteschijf.nl in Rotterdam. He's the biggest spare parts supplier in Europe, and sends things out all over the world. HMV originally used graphited grease in the spring barrel and medium grease on the other gears. However, since you can only get graphited grease in 15 litre tubs these days (it's sold as 'fifth wheel grease' for lubricating the connection between lorry cabs and trailers) that's rather a lot if you're only doing one machine! So in practice you might as well use medium grease in there as well, Garrard did as standard and their motors survive pretty well. I buy grease by Morris of Shrewsbury from Sussex Engine Supplies in Bognor Regis, but there's probably a specialist car parts supplier on an industrial estate near you. Good luck!
Hi Tim Great video I'm a fan of the repair shop and a regular visitor to St Wilfred I have a Columbia viva tonal grafonola 112a in working order but would like to give it a service are there any books you would recommend as a reference guide or are most of the motors basically the same as the one in your video Do you have a Web site or Facebook page I can contact you on I'm local to you I'm in Petersfield
Hi Sean. There aren't any workshop manuals as such but yes, all gramophone motors work in much the same way, although some of the early ones are a bit more delicate! Fortunately the motor inside a 112A is a Garrard, so nice and robust. It'll probably benefit from cleaning all the old grease and accumulated dust off the gears before relubricating with medium grease and gear oil on the fibre governor drive gear. The secret to doing this properly is to note carefully where the spacer washers etc. come from as you dismantle it, to make sure you put them back in the correct places!
Nice to see a master at work, trying to do a Swiss one myself ,think the non return spring as broke
Nicely elaborrated with sound mind and accuracy. Efforts are praiseworthy. Godspeed. We love HMV Mindware softenning.

Хорошее дело делаете! Здоровья вам!
Καλημέρα σας ευχαριστώ πολύ που έγινα δεκτός.
Did you ever do part II (restoration of the exterior)? Can't find it, and really interested in that.

Is it possible to buy (from somewhere) a brand new double spring for a HMV 130 ?
"How did you break your gramophone apart?"... "Oh; I used an Austin 7!"...

Who knows how old the dead spiders are? You're lucky the gramophone didn't reveal itself to be a mouseoleum! 😁
Where do you get the springs in Yorkshire ?
I don't think you could have found a more British recording ! 😊
hey i have a question do you have any spare ones of this cogwheel? because mine is broken 13:52
3:00 i found old needles in mine
Is that a Meltrope 3 on there? It sounds very rounded.
No, it's an HMV 5B, fitted as standard.
