rockrob1 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 I am a newbie but I have restored two Victrola motors including removing, cleaning and re-greasing the main springs. I have a Sonora Nocturne now that needs some parts that I can't seem to locate. I need the governor springs and weights. I would also like to clean and re-grease the main springs but they are completely different than anything I've seen online. I am hesitant to try to take them apart before I get some advice. Any guidance will be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 (edited) What is wrong with the governor springs & weights that you're showing us?? Also, aside from general maintenance maybe, why do you want to work on the main springs? Do they "thump" while playing, or act up in any other way? If not, it may be best to leave them alone. You know the old saying, "If it ain't broke..." Edited January 26 by Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockrob1 Posted January 26 Author Share Posted January 26 Nothing is wrong with these but I have an identical unit that needs a whole new set and I would like to have spares for the future as well. I would like to clean and re-grease the main springs is all. I haven't tried doing that on this type of barrels yet. Just trying to learn all I can. Thank you so much for your input Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
