@DIYPhonophile Funny you should mention that. I was only thinking about doing that 2 days ago. I'll try & do one soon. I'd like to finish painting the horn to match first though.
What model number is it, Shane? I've a 30, and this one is a bit more upscale...has a grille cloth...need to compare our 30 to your machine, which is a bit more deluxe.
They are very good players, aren't they, though! Never wear out, not one bit.
@ReidWelch It's just a normal 30, but I added the grille cloth cloth to keep the dust out :)
The very first of the 30's did have grille cloth, but it was abandoned after a couple months. The original metal grille was missing from my machine also, so I bought a modern replacement made of wood.. I think the 30 is a fantastic machine for their size, and they seem to last forever.
I've got some of Australia's earliest recording stars uploaded like Peter Dawson, Florrie Forde, Billy Williams, though to some of our later country legends like Smoky Dawson, Reg Lindsay & Slim Dusty if you're ever in a nostelgic mood.
Please post a video of your spray painted crapophone. Thanks for all your great videos.
