phono-phan Posted January 15 Posted January 15 Has anyone ever seen a mainspring explode like thins one did? It had to sound terrible. It is from an Edison Standard I am working on. 1
melvind Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I had a Victrola 11 that had an exploded spring a number of years ago. It happened when I wasn’t around but it must have caused quite a disturbance and I imagine the machine may have even bounced. When I realized it had happened I opened things up and there was grease everywhere all over the bottom of the motor board, the motor, and everything under the motor board. I sent the motor to a repair guy and he called me asking how that happened. He had never seen a spring in that shape before. All was well after a new spring, but it was quite an event. 1
