I am looking for affordable Louis Armstrong 78's and other jazz and blues. Preferably in Sydney, Australia to keep postage costs down. I have some records I would consider swapping too.

Please PM me if you have anything you think I'd be interested in.

Cheers

Is the mikiphone still available? Any photos? What sort of price range?

I have just spotted this item with the identical picture I posted for sale on ebay...

I wonder how much it'll go for...$200 ?

Thanks guys. Turned out it was the friction type. A tap with a hammer in the spindle and off it came.
I am struggling to find parts though, I need...

- governor spring and weight (maybe all three so they match)
- needle cup (metal, alloy I think)

Anyone able to help?

I have just bought a 'Rexoport' portable rexonola gramophone that is missing a few parts. I am in need of a governor spring and weight. The motor is branded 'Rexonola', I had expected to find a generic thorens numbered motor. Does anyone know what motor parts/springs are compatible? Does anyone have...

I have taken a nice, Garrard AT6 changer from an old, rat-eaten radiogram cabinet. Thanks to the great advice from user 'Record-changer' I have got the changer working a treat. Now I would like to mount the unit in a box/case and be able to run a stereo line into my living-room stereo system. I unde...

Thank you for the advice. The trip mechanism fix went as described, I'm sure you saved me hours of scratching my head. The mechanics underneath are surprisingly clean and tidy and when cleaned up the item played and worked brilliantly. I am wondering though if the auto end function can be adjusted. ...

That's wonderful that your museum has a gramophone cinema. What other discs/pictures are in the collection? Is there a few of Felix? How complicated is the animation? I'd imagine most would be a walking or running loop.

Unfortunately I didn't buy the item but there are a couploe available on the net for around $200 US if anyone is interested. Too rich for my blood.

I came across this old animation novelty from the 20's, thought people might get a kick out of it. What a great gramophone accessory to own now. http://www.smsnoveltiques.com/images/kinephone.jpg Has anyone got a gramophone doll? Is there any video on the web of one in action? I would be interested ...

Thanks Shane,
Finally it all makes sense! I would have thought it would be more usefull brushing up-stream of the needle though. Thanks for the photo.

Thanks, that's enough to kick me off. I may have more questions to come!
Cheers.

I have just rescued a Garrard AT6 from an old radiogram cabinet. Unfortunately there seems to be no life in the unit. It's clear it will need a complete overhaul. I would like to do the work myself, I have little experience with electronics, usually satisfied with tinkering on accoustic gramophones....

Yes it is a screw, looks like it would go somewhere on the reproducer to clean the record as it plays.

While reconditioning my HMV 101 portable I came across this "Kle-Nit", small, mountable brush. It fell out of the horn when I was cleaning it! How does this brush work? Where does it mount? Is it worthwhile using? Thanks http://www.superduper.com.au/video/brush_small.jpg
