I am new to this list and I need some information regarding the value of the McLagan gramophone. I have one (floor model) that is in mint condition with the crank, needles, etc. It was my mother's and I would like to know what the value would be. I live in Canada and was wondering if anyone knows who I could contact to find out the value. It has the book cases with the 78's in them plus I have tons more of 78's. Thank you for any help that you can give to me.

Go easy with it or you might end up stripping the whole thing off. When you see some of the copper coming back, quit.

Do I remove the old laquer/shellac finish and then relacquer? If so what type of finish remover would you recommend? Thanks!
