Valecnik Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) The Class M is ready for exhibitions again after many years of silence. Admission price is a nickel per selection. No discounts for friends or family and no sharing of listening tubes! Many thanks to Darren J Wallace for the restoration work including completing the missing piece of the listening rail, Aaron Loyak and the late Charles Hummel for rubber tubing and some additional hardware for the listening tubes, PedroFono Pedro Martínez Díaz the Grenet cell and for making the wire stancions for some of the listening tubes, Chuck Azzalina for making the power supply and lastly Paul Baker for transporation from Canada to the Midwest Exhibition where I finally picked it up. It truly takes a village! Edited July 2, 2023 by Valecnik spelling 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roaring20s Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Impressive! A Jules Verne like contraption. Imagine seeing that for the first time and thinking, "What form of grift is this? You want me to stick this in my ears and I give you a nickel? Rigmarole! I'll wait and see what happens to the first group." James. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valecnik Posted August 27, 2023 Author Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) I was going to post a few more pics of this earlier but got distracted with some other things. Finally, here they are for those of you who are interested. 🙂 Edited August 27, 2023 by Valecnik 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtA Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 That is a beautiful machine... What are you using for a connecting tube from the reproducer? Black CPAP hose might look better and it's not expensive... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black CPAP hose might look better and it's not expensive... Thank you! Regarding the connecting tube, I'm using the oriignal that came with the machine. It looks odd because I wrapped it in plastic kitchen wrap. The original rubberized lining has long since fallen away and without that fix most of the sound leaks out before getting to the listening rail. The kitchen wrap works great and can be easily removed without causing damage. Admittedly it looks terrible though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CurtA Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Doesn't anyone make a replacement ? I know the CPAP hose is a hokey solution, but it's airtight and flexible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
