Player Restoration Narration
By Roger Waring
I am about to start restoring a ca. 1920 player. I wondered if it would be of interest to narrate progress through the medium of the Digest, whilst at the same time soliciting advice?
This way I could learn a lot from other, more experienced technicians, whilst passing on the knowledge gained. The first (?) Internet restoration!
I would plan it something like this:
1. I inform subscribers of the instrument's background, details, and general condition.
2. I outline a broad plan of action, from initial inspection and materials ordering right through to completion.
3. I invite comment, advice, and anything else of relevance from subscribers.
4. I carry out the work accordingly and report back to subscribers regularly on progress and any problems. (Say, twice a week - I do not want to clog up the MMD or monopolise it.)
What do you think?
Best Regards to all
