Eckster, the ebay contact from San Francisco you gave me proved great. Thank you !
The rusky reproducer with an american heart made the trip back home safe and sound.
As soon as I got it in my hands I dropped my responsibilities and rushed upstairs to check it out. Now the sound is great, not even comparable as before the restoration of the reproducer. Now the sound is quite loud and clear. We were all astonished by the surprising beauty of the sound. There is something powerful and mysterious about the sound of an old gramophone. I guess you guys are used to it but for us it is quite an experience.
As soon as I can I,ll tape it and share the video in Vimeo.

A good record and natural cut sound is always the best. There is no wow or flutter or hum of an amplifier. The engineering properties of a good gramophone always sounds the best. Its the natural reverberation of the orchestra or voice as if its right in front of you. I have done many experiments even have built a 2 channel reproducer so that one can listen to stereo records. But i dont use old vintage machines for that. I learn from the footsteps of the original inventors and try and live their experience.
