Restoration Old record player gramophone (phonograph) 

I just think it looks wrong to have veneering. It's a portable. Have you ever seen a veneered suitcase? 😀

It's a pity that it was not restored as original

@@DIDALL но восстановление патифона действительно супер, у меня ещё на счету самовар Баташева, тоже восстановил

@@DIDALL ок

thanks, yes he was either burnt in the sun, or from fire

there is nothing complicated here, first make a mark with a pencil where the seams of the lining should be, so that later it would be easier to cut, you need to use contact glue (analogue of a shoe), smooth the corners with a board, the glue seized immediately, used glue with the name (nairit GTA BOTERM), and then cut off only the rest of the veneer. I recommend applying the glue exactly to the extent that the piece of veneer should be, that is, no more than the area marked for a particular piece.

thanks, but I did not understand your question

yes, he was burned

Thanks

@KING VICTROLA I know. But I would still prefer a natural case such as wood, above a manmade material. Even if the object gets a few dents and scractchmarks with time, it looks nicer and reflects the history of the piece. I have a yellowwood table which I inherited from my parents, and will not dream of putting sandpaper to it, you can see that it has been used and served a purpose, every mark on it was caused by a family member either baking or cutting bread

​@@goforgold7082 Many portable gramophones aren't entirely made from timber, the top and bottom are made from a type of fibreboard so the veneer was necessary. Some of the earlier portables had timber cases which do look good. I think the timber cases ended up being considered old fashioned and it became more fashionable to have portables look like leather cases, as well as it being cheaper and a bit lighter to use thin fibreboard. Interestingly, the HMV 102 (which this gramophone is a copy of) and the 101 had for the standard version a beautiful varnished timber motorboard, whereas for the coloured de luxe versions the motorboard was covered in the same Rexine as the rest of the case.

this is a Soviet copy, but I tried to restore it as best as possible, the head membrane, I also restored. The gramophone factory of the city of "Molotov"

@@DIDALL well done fella!

no? this is ussr

@@DIDALL looks idendical , have a look on google defdonatlly a clone of a 102 ,Lovley job on your work its very impressive ! I would love to do the same on mine

Of course, write to me by mail, I will help in any way I can. denpon10@gmail.com

todavía tenemos muchos de ellos

Es ist ganz einfach zu verarbeiten, man kann es sogar mit Schuhkleber verkleben

I like that better

@@DIDALL I also like billiard cloth. Such a gramophone could be so modified to order as a gift to the director of the plant, for example. So this design is authentic. In a completely Soviet style.

I am glad that you like my job, I live in Ukraine

no, this is Soviet production

Ne, ruská kopie.

I'm guessing he wanted to add his own style to it. At least he did it in a way which won't stop someone else from making it look original again, and it was in terrible condition before. Now at least it works again and won't be thrown in a skip. Plus it's not as if 102s are rare

I'm from Ukraine denpon10@gmail.com

No it doesn't. It looks classic.

@@Andy-nx8fv Ha, it's ruined...

looks original to me.
