Crankin' It Up




You will notice that Uncle Josh Buys an Automobile is another well worn veteran. I am always a bit surprised at how much I enjoy this type of entertainment; I guess I am old fashioned. Just in case this one is not enough: *.

Tonight I pulled the motor out of the old Brunswick and oiled the bearings and gears. I had run out of adjustment on the governor and the motor was running at 79 RPM with the needle on the record. I was able to move the governor's rubbing block a bit, and now the phonograph is turning a very proper 78 while playing records. My ears aren't sensitive enough to notice a problem with one or two extra turns per minute, but some of the You Tube critics have commented.
