Yes, I've heard this can be treacherous! I would never try any kind of repair anyway! Do you know Rick Wilkins of Early Days Musical Museum who lives in Duncanville? I leave my machines wound down. For whatever reason, I never wind them all the way up, just enough for a play--33 turns with the Credenza, 21 on the 7-11, 8-9 and 2-15. The #10 feels tight at just about 11 and won't got past 17. I like to stop the crank at the 12 o'clock position, too. The Brunswick Panatrope will take 49!
@VictrolaJazz My edison diamond disc william and mary console takes 120 turns to fully wind the motor! I have repacked the springs though. Plays very nice and smooth through three whole records front and back.
