I'm thinking the reproducer gaskets might be shot. Anyways, here's the video of it. All feedback appreciated   |

Sounds good from this end but you would be a better judge being there in front of it.
BTW, my favorite Civil War song!!!

It's one of my favorite Civil War songs as well..even as a Southerner, haha.
My only concern after playing it is that the turntable doesn't spin "true," ie. it appears to not be perfectly flat. Granted, when I removed the turntable and placed it upside down on a table, it lays flat. Does it matter if the turntable doesn't run true?

I seem to have a lot more hissing on this player than I did the LC-38...which makes me wonder why (hence gasket thoughts). If I engage the mute all the way, the noise goes away, but without the mute ball there is a very noticeable hissing beyond the normal white noise of the disc.

Frank,
The incised discs can have more surface noise as compared to the later paper labeled ones due to formula changes and difficulty in obtaining , the material for the condensite during the war.
The spindle may be slightly bent, causing the WOW that you are seeing.
That being said, the gaskets really should be changed as they are dried out by now and hard as a rock.

Bent spindle, dang....  Well, I oiled up everything with 3-in-One, cleaned the disc (it has an ungodly tight center hole...it just does not want to fit without a push), and it definitely sounds better. Granted Bill, it looks like I'll be sending you my reproducer for overhauling, haha. Email me your address again and I'll send it off. |
