All it would take would be one bad tooth on any of the gears. You may be hitting the bad tooth turning one direction, and missing it turning the other direction. The governor worm gear on the turntable shaft may be the problem. This is a type of fiber gear that may be worn or have a bad tooth. -----Original Message----- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org [mailto:phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org]on Behalf Of Steven Medved Sent: Friday, November 09, 2007 3:06 PM To: Phono-l Subject: [Phono-L] Brunswick motor An e-mail I received, can anyone help? I have a Brunswick model 207 I purchased 1 year ago which has a spring motor problem. I am just now trying to get it in working condition. The first thing I noticed is when I wind it, the spring motor would wind and get tight, and the turntable would not turn. I check the governor and is spins freely. After taking tension off the spring and removing the spring barrel, the turntable main gear (the gear the spring motor gear engages with) will only allow me to turn it in one direction. And this turns the turntable counterclockwise instead of in a clockwise direction. I proceeded to check the springs in both barrels and I believe they are wound in the correct way. After playing with it a bit trying a couple different ways the springs in the barrels only seem to work in on direction. They will only engage on the center shaft being assembled wound in a counterclockwise direction. The center shaft has a one way hook to engage with the spring, so it is nearly impossible to get it engaged if assembled in the opposite direction. Even if the tension on the spring would go the other way, it will be turning the turntable in the wrong direction anyway. I am a little puzzled here and a little help from you would be very helpful. _______________________________________________ Phono-L mailing list http://phono-l.oldcrank.org From klin...@modex.com Fri Nov 16 19:21:05 2007 From: klin...@modex.com (Bill Klinger) Date: Fri Nov 16 19:19:35 2007 Subject: [Phono-L] ARSC Conference 2008: save the dates Message-ID: <004d01c828c8$e6ed9800$0201a...@billqbszr49l7m> The following message has been posted by the Outreach Committee of the Association for Recorded Sound Collections (ARSC).

The conference hotel is the Creekside Inn, located one mile from the Stanford campus and two miles from downtown Palo Alto. During the conference, single, double, and triple rooms are specially priced at $130 per night. To receive the discounted rate, rooms must be reserved by March 9, 2008. Reservations can be made at 800-492-7335 or r...@creekside-inn.com. Please refer to group code "ARSC," when booking.

Some samples of sessions in the works (and, therefore, subject to change) are: -- Archival issues and new tools for collection assessment. Reporting repositories include the Hoover Institution Archives, Stanford University, Columbia University, Yale University, the New York Public Library, the Rodgers and Hammerstein Archives of Recorded Sound, and the University of North Texas Music Library. -- "A Primer on Analog Playback" presented by the Technical Committee. -- A panel discussion by Ampex pioneers, about the history of magnetic sound recording technology in the Silicon Valley. -- "Preservation, Access, and Copyright," including a talk by the author of the congressionally-mandated "Study on the Current State of Recorded Sound Preservation." -- Numerous talks focusing on classical, jazz, and popular artists and repertoire. -- Ethnographic and ethnomusicological recordings. -- An examination of the beginnings of and reactions to recorded sound in the 19th century, including a recreation of an 1878 tinfoil phonograph exhibition. During this session, ARSC's new First Sounds Committee will speak about its initiative "to make humanity's early audio legacy accessible to all people, for all time." ARSC's Education and Training Committee will present "Don't Stop the Music: A Workshop on Grant Funding for Audio Preservation," on March 26, 2008, at Stanford University's Campbell Recital Hall. Archivists, librarians, and collection managers -- anyone who works with or manages archival sound recordings -- will gain information about identifying grant-making institutions, meeting intake requirements, and exploring possible partnerships with other institutions. The workshop will feature speakers from The GRAMMY Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the Library of Congress, and the Smithsonian Institution. Make plans to join your friends and colleagues in Palo Alto.
