Sonora phonograph playing
Posted By azog on August 10, 2009
It took a little bit of finagling. Some basic cleanup, and probably most important, a new needle.
Found some good resources online. One had a “service manual” for a slightly different Sonora phonograph, but the same basic principles applied. At the very least, it taught me how to change the needle.
One interesting thing to side-note is that at least one manufacturer recommended that you change the needle after each play! Well, in today’s attention deprived society, I don’t think that would go over well.
This is on my cell phone camera, so the sound quality is pitiful. But trust me, it sounds great. It’s very LOUD, too. It is amazing that this is all just mechanical.
Nipperhead appears to be one of the best resources, with APSCO coming in tied.
