Hi John! Thank you SO much for giving us the gift of your daughter. Also, much gratitude for passing along the skills of the trade. Trena employs them in a most excellent manner. We all love her
Agreed! John, I’d love to know where you gained your knowledge of the craft, that you could pass it on to Trena for all of us to enjoy. Thank you both so much!!
Thank you for sharing this repair ⛑/ restoration / maintenance 🛠with all the explanations that go with it. I've been working for my village's repair café (volunteer association) for 10 years and we have old, very old, new and very new equipement to repair. So your video is really talking to me. Take care of yourself and all the best.
As late as 1956, my parents rented a summer lodge in the Adirondacks with no electricity. Our sole evening's entertainment came from that same model of Victrola. So the night sounds were the crickets and Paul Whiteman. Thanks for preserving many memories of many people.
Thankyou for reposting this video, I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to see the end of it before. Lovely job between you and your dad. You make a wonderful team
I recently lost my Dad and mentor in the middle of a project. I went your being able to work with your father still. I have not been able to allow myself back I to my shop since he died, it’s just been to painful so I am putting our projects in storage and then working on some other project until our projects become my projects. Your videos inspire me and seeing you working with your Dad helps me realize how lucky I was to have my Dad for the years I did. My goal is to make him proud with our now my business.
What a delightfully appropriate and entertaining background tunes to go with a great restoration, sympathetically preserving a precious piece of history for generations to come. Bless you both, wonderful to see dad and daughter collaboration, so very well done.
My dad rescued an old Victrola Gramophone with a huge stack of 78rpm records when I was a kid. Unbeknownst to us the gears had a fatal hairline crack. After cleaning and re-greasing the motor and spring we played it for several months before something snapped inside and the the tightly wound up spring suddenly lost its brake and the spring let go the stored energy and the crank handle went spinning out of control breaking my father's hand that got in the way. Taking it apart there was no available replacement parts to repair it so it sat in the house as an interesting furniture piece until they eventually gave it away to a collector. Since then I was terrified of wind up spring crank arms, though I do own an antique tambour key wind mantle clock. Beautiful and lucky that you were able to repair the motor works!
My dad had an old Ford which you could start with a handle and you soon learnt not to get your hand in the way when it kicked back. It was useful when the car had a flat battery - you can't do that with modern cars. His dad had an old gramophone, but it was electric. He still had to change the needle every two sides of the record; you were able to get long-lasting needles, black with a silver tip, which played ten records. The needles were available in loud and mellow volume types.
Oh, that was such an interesting refurbishment. My Nana had one of these and I remember my uncles playing records when we had Sunday tea at her house. I wasn't allowed to crank and had to sit still and be good. 😊 Such memories, and lovely to see you and your Dad work together, Trena. Thank you. 🤗💞
Dream Team Renovators! Gramophone turned out gorgeous! 🤩 What you two can do with an item that’s more than a century old ! - now looks brand new 😎 Tag Team TLC to the rescue - kudos for another outstanding restoration and thanks for sharing!
In my opinion this should be thought to the future generations in order to preserve those beautiful machines,they are the greatest invention of mankind that should be preserved for future generations to marvel at. Thanks for the beautiful and perfect restoration I have ever seen in my life.
Do glad to finally get to see and hear your dad in action. What a blessing to get to work with him.i bet he has years and years of knowledge.thank you for this video.i really enjoyed watching.
Fabulous transformation by the father/daughter team. Beautiful new life transfused into the tech of the early 20th century. Wonderful patience and attention to detail. Thanks for posting.
Interesting video and well done! I have one of those blue reproducers or soundboxes. They were replacement ones made by Goldring, maybe as late as the 1950s. Probably would have had a Victor Exhibition reproducer originally. Thanks 👍 😀
When you are 107 years old, you get a new slop bucket! 😅 Loved the music throughout the video. Great to see you two working together. Stunning piece...Wow...just Wow!
My grandparents had the exact same one. We used to play it all the time when we went to their house. Our favorite record was 'Hallelujah I'm a Bum'. Some people thought it sounded scary because the sound was so scratchy, but I loved it. My brother still has it.
That dog is absolutely adorable! The last shot with the dog chilling out looking outside and listening to the Victrola is so heartwarming. I love watching you transform items like this. I was amazed at how much those plates brightened up without looking worn out. I’m glad you know what to do when the spring inside the motor unrolls like that, because my first reaction would’ve been four lettered and foul.
What a beautiful job, Trena. This piece is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the lesson on the workings of this. It was very interesting and lovely to see both you and your father work on it together. 😘💕🇦🇺
Such beautiful restoration. That piece will be around for another 100 years (at the very least)! Absolutely gorgeous! Love the happiness on both your faces. Clearly, you are both enjoying working together (as long as John can find things since you’ve re-organized the shop!!😂) Glad to see Shop Dog is on duty, scaring away any would-be robbers! No chance of that in between doggy naps and scritches! 🐾🐶
How Exciting! I have TWO of these gramaphones - one owned by my grandmother and one owned by my husband's grandmother. Both were manufactured pre-WWI and both have a good supply of the old records. The cabinets are in super condition and they both work but I'm sure the motor could use some cleaning and oiling. I want to give them to my two grandchildren so I'm now on a mission to find someone to service them. Thanks for the restoration lesson!!
The many talents of Trena! You have a lovely singing voice! I have to admit when you took apart that spring, I wasn’t sure it would go back in. I’m always amazed at the work you and your dad do to repair a piece, I never considered that fixing a motor might be part of restoring furniture. Excellent and thank you for sharing!
Trena, I cannot help feeling tenderness when I see you working with your dad. I lost mine to cancer in 2007, he was as much a role model to me as yours seem to be to you, although I do not have the same profession as his (he was a military pilot). I hope you enjoy your dad's company for a long time to come! Give him my best regards, will you? Hugs from Sao Paulo, Brazil.❤
Beautiful! I have a small business too, and the best days have been the few when my daughter works with me. She's now 25. I will always love tackling a job with her.
Another outstanding job! It was a real pleasure to watch you working with dad on this one. I really appreciate people who like to restore old furniture the craftsmanship is unparalleled by today's standards. Congrats on another beautiful restoration.
Honestly I heartily Appreciate Mr. Thomson for his Meticulous Precision at this Age. Of course not at all to miss you Trena...... You have a Tremendous Commitment and Finnesse in Workmanship...... ❤❤❤
Greetings from Mannheim in Germany. Your humor between you both is so lovely. I had to laugh very much when you sang into the speaker. Wunderfull voice. I'm always impressed of your marvelous work.
I love when Dad is in the shop. Some of my best times were spent working with my dad. I lost him in 2021 and seeing the two of you brings back such wonderful memories for me.
Just as good as the first viewing. I still have an RCA "Nipper" figurine given to me when I left RCA Photophone (their division that co-invented sound for motion pictures - still in use till digital took over in the 1990s/2000s).
Y’all did a wonderful job! My daddy and I restored a Victrola together. I followed his instructions. Thanks for sharing this. It brought back nice memories.
My grandmother had one just like this. She was an ambulance driver in England during WW2. It's nice to see this one brought back to its gorgeous regal appearance
I have a Decca 10 portable player. I used to get my needles from GC Electronics., They sold them as replaceable tips for voltmeters. My Grandmother had a very similar player and she had needles made from cactus spines as well as steel. They were easier on the records but wore out very fast. It is wonderful to see such great work. I look forward to your postings.
I was really surprised you got those springs back together. That must've been pretty frustrating. I've never seen one of those. Very entertaining and beautiful work and lots of brass!
Amazing! My family has had the larger version of this same cabinet (With the slide-out whiskey tray), but I've never seen another like it. These were indeed made in Eastern Canada. I'm glad I found this video because it looks wonderful and doesn't need refinishing. The player itself has some damage, and now I know how to do what I need to fix it. Thanks so much!
As soon as you said, I need to remove the spring, I said OH HO.. But you did a great job. I also had this vision of you and your dad doing a Charleston in the closing scenes 🤣🤣🤣. Beautiful piece. ☺
You are so fortunate to have video of your dad to keep forever. I wish I'd had some of my Mom. Your making beautiful memories ❤ and beautiful pieces. BTW, you were crazy or brave to tackle that motor 😂😅❤
Trena this was so much fun! I had to laugh when the motor spring unraveled in your hands!! It sounds like you and your dad had fun fixing this one up. You both did a beautiful job! Thank you for sharing this one with us. Hope this finds you and yours happy and healthy! See you next time! P.S. Your shop puppy is adorable!!! 😁
Job well done ❤. I enjoy watching you work with wood. It always looks like a labor of love. And to work together with your Dad, that’s just the best. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of furniture with us. Making the antique ‘new’ again.
How awesome it must be to work with your dad. I must admit, im a bit jealous. That centrifugal governor was used a lot 100+ years ago on steam equipment, and those balls are the balls from the expression "balls out", which means the machine is operating at full (governed) speed.
Nice work on the old gramophone. Beautiful mahogany, and it now looks like it just came off the show room floor at whatever store it may have come from, originally. Ans\d look at you, Trena, being a regular mechanic! Must have been fun. Really nice work, as always, and thanks for showing this one. It's a treasure 👍
Pretty cool. I have that same model sitting in my dining room. Based on the serial #, mine was from 1920. It was given to me from my great grandparents.
Beautiful restoration Trena, so nice to see your dad working on vintage audio and applying all hiw knowledge. As you know vintage audio is my thing so i appreciate this one even more. Thank's for sharing :-)
What a gem you Trena has given to us. The priviledge to see you both working together. A rare vision we see nowadays. Thank you thank you. God bless you all.
OK, 1-great video as always. It is a pleasure to watch you work. 2-my father started a mechanical contracting company and I learned as I grew up working with him and ended up taking over for him. It was really nice to see you working with your dad. I have countless memories of working with my dad. Thank you. 3-I know why it is there but that blue plastic head sure does look absurd. The owner should look into a brass one. If you are looking for sound quality you wouldn't be using a gramaphone so you might as well make the piece look great. Other than that one thing out of your control it looks fantastic.
What a beautiful instrument. I am so pleased that it is now preserved and able to play for another hundred years. Today’s music producers all evolved from the likes of this beautiful machine. You and your Dad remain a wonderful team - each with knowledge complimentary to the other. I wish you both well. 👍🏻🐶
my dad' grandma had one almost like the one you have,looked veryclose. it worked and us kids got a kick out of winding it up and playing those old thick 78 records from early years
Hi John! Thank you SO much for giving us the gift of your daughter. Also, much gratitude for passing along the skills of the trade. Trena employs them in a most excellent manner. We all love her
So nice of you
Amen and Amen!
Agreed! John, I’d love to know where you gained your knowledge of the craft, that you could pass it on to Trena for all of us to enjoy. Thank you both so much!!
Exactly! ❤❤
So agree with this!
Thank you, John!
What a great gift you gave her, and in turn to us as well.
❤️
So much love and respect!
Love to see a father and daughter working together. Beautiful work.
The saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none." You and your dad seem to be masters of all!

As late as 1956, my parents rented a summer lodge in the Adirondacks with no electricity. Our sole evening's entertainment came from that same model of Victrola. So the night sounds were the crickets and Paul Whiteman. Thanks for preserving many memories of many people.
🥰

It really is!
What a treat to see you with your father, the dog was saying please let me out what ever you are listening to is dreadful. LOL
Lol

Two masters of carpentry, a really beautiful gramophone and nice music. A pleasure to see you both bring it back to life.

Our pleasure!
Fabulous transformation by the father/daughter team. Beautiful new life transfused into the tech of the early 20th century. Wonderful patience and attention to detail. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much!
I have one of these from my mom’s farm. RIP mom.
We have one that was given to us 50 years ago. Now that I've seen the workings of the motor, I think I will take it apart and lube it.
It’s so nice to see you and your dad working together Trenna. Your Victrola turned out beautifully! ❤
My Mom had that same model. My son has it now, still works great. When Mom bought it, it had a couple dozen records with it.
Love the music you are playing. And love seeing this Gramophone cleaned up! Awesome work. Thank you!!
Thank you!
Interesting video and well done! I have one of those blue reproducers or soundboxes. They were replacement ones made by Goldring, maybe as late as the 1950s. Probably would have had a Victor Exhibition reproducer originally. Thanks 👍 😀

The old radio gram have a sound all there own congratulations..
Trena, the dust is unacceptable, lol. Fantastic job. I've been watching your videos for awhile and I enjoy every one. Incredible work.
Thank you so much! Lol
Beautiful work❤
As a kid I would see these in homes but now only in antique stores. It's beautiful.
Trena - you are such an awesome woman. I loved seeing you and your father work together on this project. The best to you.
Thank you so much!
Trena, I cannot help feeling tenderness when I see you working with your dad.

Oh Thankyou and I’m sorry for your loss. I do cherish our time together it is something I thought I would never have again. Cheers love
Very nice work ! Love the continued restorations for older radios, Victrolas, etc !
Many thanks!
Beautiful! I have a small business too, and the best days have been the few when my daughter works with me. She's now 25. I will always love tackling a job with her.
That is awesome!
Hello John and Trena...beautiful music in the background...you should put it more often...restoration is excellent as always...Job well done!!
Thankyou!
A magnificent and stunning restoration. Kudos on bringing a piece of living entertainment history back to life. It was a simpler time indeed.
As always, I smile when I see you've posted a new video! Love seeing you and your Dad working together. Keep 'em coming, Trena! ❤👍🏻
Thank you! Will do!
My favorite subjects in one video here. Love it! Thx Trena and John! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video. It was well done. Thanks for taking time out of your life, to share your dad's and your own skill with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
What a team the two of you make! You are both amazing.
Another outstanding job! It was a real pleasure to watch you working with dad on this one. I really appreciate people who like to restore old furniture the craftsmanship is unparalleled by today's standards. Congrats on another beautiful restoration.
Fabulous and educational😊

I love when Dad is in the shop. Some of my best times were spent working with my dad. I lost him in 2021 and seeing the two of you brings back such wonderful memories for me.
🥰🥰
Mahogany is one of my favorites--I like the way it can almost sparkle.
I love watching you strip the wood, totally fascinating watching your process
I'm proud of you and your dad doing all the mechanics work on it.
Just as good as the first viewing. I still have an RCA "Nipper" figurine given to me when I left RCA Photophone (their division that co-invented sound for motion pictures - still in use till digital took over in the 1990s/2000s).
Thanks for watching again! I had a few edits🥰
Y’all did a wonderful job! My daddy and I restored a Victrola together. I followed his instructions. Thanks for sharing this. It brought back nice memories.
Good job, it looks like a million bucks. My grandfather was 9 years old when that thing was made, certainly a different age.
You and your dad are charming. Your channel is so raw and real. Not overly produced and not scripted. Beautiful work.
it's so cool to see you working with your dad
How did I miss seeing this video when it came out? I own a desktop Victrola that never fails to get me into the Christmas mood!! ❤️
Wow!! Fantastic!!
My grandmother had one just like this. She was an ambulance driver in England during WW2. It's nice to see this one brought back to its gorgeous regal appearance
Very cool
I have a Decca 10 portable player. I used to get my needles from GC Electronics., They sold them as replaceable tips for voltmeters. My Grandmother had a very similar player and she had needles made from cactus spines as well as steel. They were easier on the records but wore out very fast. It is wonderful to see such great work. I look forward to your postings.
Thankyou!
I was really surprised you got those springs back together. That must've been pretty frustrating. I've never seen one of those. Very entertaining and beautiful work and lots of brass!
Thankyou
Hello cute pup! Trena & Kohn, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Loved the music, too.
Our pleasure!
A f in anew sd it' already a great looking piece! Sure, it needs a bit of TLC. Nice restoration! Glad to see your dad participate!
What a treasure, working with your dad! It is marvelous to see such skill in one room. Well done you two!
Yes, thank you
Sounded great to me, made me think of old Black and white movie. ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
Amazing! My family has had the larger version of this same cabinet (With the slide-out whiskey tray), but I've never seen another like it. These were indeed made in Eastern Canada. I'm glad I found this video because it looks wonderful and doesn't need refinishing. The player itself has some damage, and now I know how to do what I need to fix it. Thanks so much!
Hi Trena , I always enjoy you bring new life to antique furniture
Thank you so much 🤗
As soon as you said, I need to remove the spring, I said OH HO.. But you did a great job. I also had this vision of you and your dad doing a Charleston in the closing scenes 🤣🤣🤣. Beautiful piece. ☺
Lol
Beautiful refinishing and restoring job! The owners must have been thrilled with the results! Just like new….
Wonderful

Beautiful and so cool.
The dream team 👍 Best music I've heard on U-tube for a long time. 👐

How nice is that to listen to! Great job Trena and John 👏👏👏

What a beautiful instrument. I am so pleased that it is now preserved and able to play for another hundred years. Today’s music producers all evolved from the likes of this beautiful machine. You and your Dad remain a wonderful team - each with knowledge complimentary to the other. I wish you both well. 👍🏻🐶
Thankyou!
my dad' grandma had one almost like the one you have,looked veryclose. it worked and us kids got a kick out of winding it up and playing those old thick 78 records from early years
Stunning
Truly a blessing to have Dad around. You can still be a child and blow in to the horn with him looking at you😊
lol yep
