I am a great believer in originality. I'd rather wait and find a nicely
preserved machine than one that has been restored to "brand new". Granted,
some machines are basket cases and have to be fully restored, but I've seen
too many perfectly decent machines given the twice over too many times. A
good friend of mine once said that he likes his machines to be in the
condition that the original owner would have been happy with if it were ten
years old.
Best to all

Subject: [Phono-L] Original or restored?
I have always believed in keeping my phonographs in as close to original
condition as is possible. Fixing them, but not stripping and restoring
them.
I'm just curious... Is that the norm with most collectors on this group
or
do you like to restore them to look like new?
Tom
