Orthophonic reproducer questions

[mimsm]

This after market reproducer came with a Victor 4-7 I purchased a few years ago. It's in decent shape for the most part. Wondering how hard it would be to repair the guts. Any tips on where to find parts, or a person to send it off to for a rebuild. I also have the original reproducer but the pot metal is pretty cracked and I'm afraid it would crumble if I was disassembled. Thanks for any help.

For a good rebuild, I'd recommend Wyatt Markus:  restorationarts@gmail.com,

 

Best of luck,

As George P. says, Wyatt always for rebuilds. However, that sound box is not a Orthophonic. It is a cheap sound box sold on child's phonographs in the 1940s and later.  I reccoment you acquire a real Victor Orthophonic sound box or have Wyatt make you up one.

Thanks for the information! I have a real Victor Orthophonic that works pretty decently. I'm just worried it wouldn't make it through a restoration with the condition of the pot metal.  Thank you for the response.
