Sorry If you've seen this before, It's the third post that I make: I'm trying everything.

The governer keep hitting the brake at high speed.

It goes at around 140 rpm instead of 160 rpm.

I tried adjusting every screw in the video to the right or left, but it didn't help at all. Do you think the player is the problem? I also oiled the gears, but it seems worse than when I first tried it. I tried turning the screw that controls the brake all the way to the maximum, but after a while, it's just stuck.

Can't seem to find a solution, please help me, suggestions are well accepted!

I increased the speed (it was 140 now it's like 150).

But now it makes this horrible sound, I tried oiling it with Singer's oil but nothing.

After reaching a certain speed, it keep doing this sound, what can I do? (And I still need to put at least 10 rpm!)

Hi! I recently acquired this Edison Phonograph, it works well but it needs some cleaning and I need to find the screw that regolates the speed. It goes at around 140, I read that the perfect speed it's 160.

Help me 🙏🏻

I know that it's probably inside, under the motor. (I managed to take some pictures of the inside, it can help pointing it.)

Ps. Need some cleaning and oiling, feel free to give an advice!

Hello everyone! This is an inventory of some of the gramophones who were housed in a house-museum here in Italy. I'm not familiar with many of these models, but I've listed the names and years for research purposes. If anyone would like to help me identify them, I'd like to rank which are the rarest and most expensive models with estimates. Most of them are from Europe, of course.

Ps. Feel free to contact me privately if you want to help me! (In a few days I'll send the images to help the identification!)
