WELCOME TO MY WORKSHOP ON THE NORTH CORNWALL COAST.
I specialize in vintage gramophones and phonographs. Whether you would like to purchase or sell a gramophone or have your machine serviced, I would be happy to help . I can no longer undertake extensive restoration of larger machines. I supply records, cylinders and accessories for your vintage device.
My workshop is beside my home and you are more than welcome to come and visit me in West Pentire. bearing in mind the present Covid restrictions. I cannot now welcome you into my small workshop but we can discuss matters of interest at the appropriate distance! It is essential to contact me in advance to arrange a visit.
SERVICES
I am able to undertake repairs to a number of different gramophone sound-boxes. I have unused old stocks of mica and aluminium diaphragms and I have a number of re-conditioned replacement sound-boxes with prices from £25.
I HAVE JUST RECEIVED A BATCH OF NEWLY MADE REPLACEMENT BACK-PLATES FOR HMV No.5A AND 5B SOUND-BOXES. THESE ARE REALLY WELL MADE AND RESCUE AND ACTUALLY ENHANCE DAMAGED HMV SOUND-BOXES. DAMAGE TO THESE BOXES IS DUE TO THE POT-METAL USED IN THEIR CONSTRUCTION.
I can also supply new gramophone needles of various types including some fibre (thorn and bamboo) needles. For details of these and how to order needles, please click here. I also have a number of unused old stock gramophone mainsprings. Details on request.
Important: Vintage Gramophones play 78 rpm records only and cannot play “vinyl”.
