[78-L] table model Victrola, ca. 1919

[L78rpm at aol.com]

A friend --- not a collector --- received a table model Victrola (internal  
horn, humpback lid, no. 2 reproducer) as a gift.  He knows nothing about  
machines or discs of the period.
 
I inspected it recently and played several bat wing Victors on  it.  The 
volume is very low.  Perhaps the reproducer needs work  --- I don't know and 
can't help him.
 
He lives north of Minneapolis.  Can someone suggest someone,  
geographically accessible, who repairs machines and might help him?

It's a handsome specimen.  The cabinet is clean, hasn't been  refinished 
and doesn't need it.  The spring mechanism is functioning  properly and can 
play a disc through at appropriate and constant speeds.   But the volume is a 
problem. . .
