Using a thorn I could immediately tell the difference between when it had the old gaskets and the new. I had just found a copy of Rhapsody in Blue that day and it gave me watery\u00c2\u00a0eyes listening to it with the new reproducer. I also received a set of steel needles, both soft and loud tone. Having never used the loud tone needles I put one in and threw on one of my older Caruso records. With the loud tone needle doing it&#8217;s thing I actually needed to back away from the victrola due to the sound volume hurting my ears. The next project up is trying to rebuild my Cecilian reproducer which might be a bit more of a challenge because I don&#8217;t see any gaskets like the one this uses to attach to the tone arm or rebuilding the spring motor for that machine. Both will be fun projects.<\/p>\n<p>I want to give a shout out to Walt Sommers as I purchased the parts from his ebay <a href=\"http:\/\/stores.ebay.com\/gettysburgantiquephonographs\/\">store<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0and he had them out the door and in my hands in short order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I did a rebuild on the reproducer for my VV-300.
