Man, this retired rocket engine would make a heckuva horn for an old #recordplayer!

I saw a young person talking about how they just bought 6 vinyls from their favorite artists but that they didn’t have a “vinyl reader” to play them on yet, and I think I felt my face slide off.

More updates about fixing a spring for a #RecordPlayer #restoration. Not a cylinder player this time, this is a Grafonola disc player that belongs to my "movie projector sensei".
It turns out that when you mention you fix record players, a lot of people have them. And most of them need work, and if it just plain doesn't work, it's almost always the spring.
The last time I worked on a spring, it was a success, but I sort of wished I'd done a neater job. Another chance came along quicker than I expected! (Descriptions in alt text)

#NowPlaying The original 1977 soundtrack from Star Wars by John Williams. I'm listening to it on YouTube and this is one of the best videos I've seen - it's a video of the entire album being played on a record player! Fantastic!

Meanwhile, back on the #CylinderPlayer project. I found an Edison speed governor that turned out not to be from the same model of player (different threading for the connection with the mandrel gear) but the weights were compatible so I put them on this machine's original governor. And now things are running pretty nicely.

Here's the two spring barrels. A big one that has two springs, and a small one with just one. The big one is the one that was actually turning when I moved the crank, so I figured the problem was likely there. Sure enough, one of the springs in there was sheared, pretty close to the shaft attachment.
