Repent and trust in Jesus. we deserve Hell for our sins. For example lying, lusing, saying God's name as a cuss word and stealing our just some examples of sin which we can all admit to doing at least one of those. For our sin we deserve death and Hell, but there is a way out. Repent anf trust in Jesus and you will be saved. Repentence is turning from sin. So repent and trust in Jesus. He will save you from Hell, and instead give you eternal life in Heaven. John 3:16 Romans 3:23❤❤❤😊❤
What needles are you using in this video and what needles do you recommend, I’ve looked into tungstone needles which can last up to 60 plays before being replaced but come in very small amounts in tins which cost usually 20 or more dollars. Also can you give any websites for the phonograph and needles Thank you!
@@khmerrecordarchives5626 Thanks for replying, thanks to your video I now have a phonograph and a small collection of records. I also use steel needles as they’re cheap and simple.
Just got one of these! The main parts are there but I need to do a quite a lot of work on it to get it back in working order. Not sure exactly where to start. Any help appreciated in terms of diagrams, videos, etc.! Thanks in advance!
Where do i get the needles? Looking at one exactly like this today $100. But cannot try without needle and how swing arm if in a position end of record? What trouble shooting should I look for? Excited! Beautiful mahogany case!
Make sure it winds up and spins, a broken spring isn't impossible to fix but can be a pain, you can find needles easily in packs of 100 for 5 dollars on ebay
Fiber needles leave bamboo fibers in the groove & some people worry about mold damaging the records. You can make your own from bamboo skewers & some people make thorn needles.
Thanks for the Great video. I have a Victrola 1917 table top model. I use only shellac records. However.. I have seen in India, they play vinyl records ( 50's or 60's) on HMV 102 model gramophone ( or similar type local reproduction in India with brass horn) . This type of gramophone uses same type of needle, soundbox and spring motor. My question is how it is possible to play vinyl record on this type of gramophone? your reply in this regard will be appreciated.
Hello friend, with India and most of Asia the case is often the same, they simply used what they had at hand, machines were expensive and discs were too but discs were more available. In the late 50s and 60s they kept making 78s out of shellac and some vinyl composite materials. It is true that no matter what a vinyl made disc will be destroyed by nearly every acoustic machine there is, however with very late shellac discs you can play them just so as long as you have the proper reproducer and use the soft tone needles
@@khmerrecordarchives5626 Thanks my friend. Appreciate your helping attitude with true information. Hope, I will buy some 78 record in my next visit in India. Will try to play with my Victrola. I think HMV 102 model can play later 78 rpm records produced in India. In Canada, it is very hard to find any UK made HMV 102 model. Thanks again.
If you use it regularly grease the bearing and the governor. If you know how you should take the springs out and have the spring barrel cleaned of the old grease and repacked. Other than that there isn't much. Just keep it lubed up and make sure the reproducer is rebuilt and you will be singing for the next 100 years!
@@khmerrecordarchives5626 Thank you so much! Can I come back with any further questions? Do you have a social media it would be easier for me to ask you questions on?
@@khmerrecordarchives5626 Do you have a video showing how to do this? I have a similar machine to this one and it turns when I crank it, but very slow. I don't recall it being used in at least 40 years. Thanks.
I just got a similar model to that one from 1913 but the metal record player hand is very lose and when I put it on a 78 record it starts to slow down and stop... any tips or advice on how to fix this? Is the lose record player hand the problem or is it something else?
Usually if the record player slows down dramatically when you place the needle on the record it is due to one of a few things. Either the record is extremely worn and putting too much drag on the record(rare but happend) the springs are either broken or very underpowered in the motoe(more common) or the reproducer has a bad needle and needs a new one keep in kind a needle is good for only one plah
I just acquired a VV 4-3. Can you tell me things I absolutely should not do with it and some things that I could do to somewhat restore it? . It seems to work fine but I would like to keep it as a piece of furniture as well as a functioning Victrola. Also the serial number appears to have been professionally destroyed by machine stamping. Would you have any ideas why this would have been done?
Hi thank you for asking! Well from what i assume this player is an orthophonic so it can play any record from 1890 to the 40s, i would NOT play anything that is extreamly rare unless you use fibre needles, also be sure to chance your needles after EVERY PLAY! Reguarding your plate i have not the slightest idea how or why that would have been done
@@jamessivertsen6030 The LP came out in 1948. It was vinyl. Peter Goldmark was the one who invented it. I think that 1957 was the introduction of stereo records, if I'm not correct.
@@khmerrecordarchives5626 Technically that's true but if you have some post '40 records that aren't too rare and aren't in mint condition and worth hundreds of $$, you can play those on there with a soft needle or even better a fiber needle. I do it all the time and it sounds amazing. But... at your own risk.
Hey if I sent some pictures could you help me with mine I got a 1904 vv210 I cant get the speed to work right sometimes it plays too fast or takes a long time to get spinning
@@leroypodunk8571 in that case I think you have a weak or broken spring in the motor. To fix that you would need to have a new spring put in or replace it yourself. However that can be very dangerous if not done properly

Nice, what song is this?
I like how the volume control on that machine also acts as a sort of balance control, though of course it's still mono.
dang I've been playing records with the same needle a lot, I should probably get more, this is probably why the sound isn't great.
Thank you! Is it safe to assume that since a fiber needle can be reused, that there is some downside to using them? Like sound Quality perhaps?
Fiber needles leave bamboo fibers in the groove & some people worry about mold damaging the records. You can make your own from bamboo skewers & some people make thorn needles.
I have one a few years older, but the speed control doesn't appear to work. Any ideas?
You can lift the turntable off and see if the control nob is tightened down firm. Sometimes it comes lose and needs to be reset

are the crank handles pretty much universal or are there different types?
Depends on the company, most victors are universal
