Am restoring a CREDENZA , wind-up, which has been damaged in a flood,
rolled off a truck, and some where in its life was covered with some
sort of finish over the original finish.  The veneer is going back on
pretty well.  The doors are warped badly, but with time and pressure,
they are looking better. It has two doors.  I am having problem getting
the 'set screws' to back out so that I can remove the springs, etc, to
lubricate.  Any ideas?

I had a local machine shop make a new shaft for the winding gear.

I am in need of a 'head' (I guess that is what it is called).  The round
thing  that  connects to the horn and holds the needle.  The one with
the machine does not look like it is the correct one.  It has been glued
together with what looks like 'JB Weld'.  This machine is a
Credenza #'9733' (on the name plate.)

I also have a VE8-30X #31194, cabinet, in good condition but the
electric motor, turn table etc is long gone. This one has four doors. I
would like to find a motor and turn table, tone arm, etc, for this one.
any ideas?

Thanks for listening.

 [ We get a surprising number of inquiries about antique phonographs.
 [ We've not published many of them, but there seems to be a trend on
 [ the increase.  Further, we find that many collectors have overlapping
 [ interest.  I'm going to try running a few of these inquiries and we'll
 [ see what kind of responses come back.  If it turns out that there's
 [ a group like ours (not a USENET Newsgroup) already catering to the
 [ antique phonograph crowd I may start referring all the inquiries
 [ there.  Please let me know what you think.    -- Jody
