Default Re: Help with Gecophone 67

Hi Angela,

A good job done by the sound of it! Your dial should be OK but keep an eye on it and if starts running slow, just clean it again. I'd get hold of an old dial, if you can, just to play with. Thay're not that tricky really unless you do a complete strip down, when they can induce minor swearing.

I retrieved my Gecophone from the shed for a look in case you needed a 'talk-through'. Mine is about 1943 vintage with the blunter handset rest than the 'stags answers on the earlier models and is the simple one-capacitor version with the small induction coil. But I'm aware of its provenance and it wtill works fine with orig, carbon mic. I have a resistor in mine but no rectifier.

Pleased you got sorted, anyway. They're an nice instrument.
