 For
the past 20 years, Rose & Gracey's Antiques has been restoring
and repairing phonographs and talking machines for people all over
the U.S. and the world. We take pride in restoring these fine treasurers
back to their original factory condition. We also take pride in
duplicating almost any phonograph finish. An average of 40 to 60
restoration hours are focused on every machine we sell.
If you're in need of phonograph restoration, be it a motor, a reproducer,
or a complete cabinet restoration, you've come to the right place.
Restorations
Here's a little of what we do!
Motors – are disassembled allowing thorough removal
of 80 or more years of dried grease, dirt and damaging grit that
eventually destroy the mechanical components. Worn, rusted, corroded
or pitted parts are replaced. New grease is now motor is re-greased
and reassembled using the same style lubricants and tools as when
the machine was originally built.
 Sound
– reproducing components are restored. Dried and cracked gaskets
and micas are replaced, and broken or otherwise deteriorated parts
are replaced insuring the best possible sound reproduction.
Cabinets – are likewise refurbished. When practical,
original cabinet finishes are cleaned and polished or re-amalgamated
to restore natural beauty. If total refinishing is required to restore
the cabinet to its original beauty, the same materials (flake shellacs,
varnishes, and stains) and methodologies are employed as when the
machine originally rolled off the factory line.
So if you have a Victor, Edison, or Columbia phonograph that is
need of a little (or a lot of) TLC, general motor cleaning or a
reproducer rebuild, we can handle it for you.
