Hi John! Thank you SO much for giving us the gift of your daughter. Also, much gratitude for passing along the skills of the trade. Trena employs them in a most excellent manner. We all love her
Agreed! John, I’d love to know where you gained your knowledge of the craft, that you could pass it on to Trena for all of us to enjoy. Thank you both so much!!
When I was little we had a gramophone at my grandmothers. She was born in 1896 and we played with it in the summer at her cottage! It was great to see it restored
Thank you for sharing this repair ⛑/ restoration / maintenance 🛠with all the explanations that go with it. I've been working for my village's repair café (volunteer association) for 10 years and we have old, very old, new and very new equipement to repair. So your video is really talking to me. Take care of yourself and all the best.
Interesting video and well done! I have one of those blue reproducers or soundboxes. They were replacement ones made by Goldring, maybe as late as the 1950s. Probably would have had a Victor Exhibition reproducer originally. Thanks 👍 😀
As late as 1956, my parents rented a summer lodge in the Adirondacks with no electricity. Our sole evening's entertainment came from that same model of Victrola. So the night sounds were the crickets and Paul Whiteman. Thanks for preserving many memories of many people.
Thankyou for reposting this video, I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to see the end of it before. Lovely job between you and your dad. You make a wonderful team
What a beautiful job, Trena. This piece is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the lesson on the workings of this. It was very interesting and lovely to see both you and your father work on it together. 😘💕🇦🇺
I recently lost my Dad and mentor in the middle of a project. I went your being able to work with your father still. I have not been able to allow myself back I to my shop since he died, it’s just been to painful so I am putting our projects in storage and then working on some other project until our projects become my projects. Your videos inspire me and seeing you working with your Dad helps me realize how lucky I was to have my Dad for the years I did. My goal is to make him proud with our now my business.
What a delightfully appropriate and entertaining background tunes to go with a great restoration, sympathetically preserving a precious piece of history for generations to come. Bless you both, wonderful to see dad and daughter collaboration, so very well done.
In my opinion this should be thought to the future generations in order to preserve those beautiful machines,they are the greatest invention of mankind that should be preserved for future generations to marvel at. Thanks for the beautiful and perfect restoration I have ever seen in my life.
I love when Dad is in the shop. Some of my best times were spent working with my dad. I lost him in 2021 and seeing the two of you brings back such wonderful memories for me.
Oh, that was such an interesting refurbishment. My Nana had one of these and I remember my uncles playing records when we had Sunday tea at her house. I wasn't allowed to crank and had to sit still and be good. 😊 Such memories, and lovely to see you and your Dad work together, Trena. Thank you. 🤗💞
Do glad to finally get to see and hear your dad in action. What a blessing to get to work with him.i bet he has years and years of knowledge.thank you for this video.i really enjoyed watching.
How Exciting! I have TWO of these gramaphones - one owned by my grandmother and one owned by my husband's grandmother. Both were manufactured pre-WWI and both have a good supply of the old records. The cabinets are in super condition and they both work but I'm sure the motor could use some cleaning and oiling. I want to give them to my two grandchildren so I'm now on a mission to find someone to service them. Thanks for the restoration lesson!!
Dream Team Renovators! Gramophone turned out gorgeous! 🤩 What you two can do with an item that’s more than a century old ! - now looks brand new 😎 Tag Team TLC to the rescue - kudos for another outstanding restoration and thanks for sharing!
My dad rescued an old Victrola Gramophone with a huge stack of 78rpm records when I was a kid. Unbeknownst to us the gears had a fatal hairline crack. After cleaning and re-greasing the motor and spring we played it for several months before something snapped inside and the the tightly wound up spring suddenly lost its brake and the spring let go the stored energy and the crank handle went spinning out of control breaking my father's hand that got in the way. Taking it apart there was no available replacement parts to repair it so it sat in the house as an interesting furniture piece until they eventually gave it away to a collector. Since then I was terrified of wind up spring crank arms, though I do own an antique tambour key wind mantle clock. Beautiful and lucky that you were able to repair the motor works!
My dad had an old Ford which you could start with a handle and you soon learnt not to get your hand in the way when it kicked back. It was useful when the car had a flat battery - you can't do that with modern cars. His dad had an old gramophone, but it was electric. He still had to change the needle every two sides of the record; you were able to get long-lasting needles, black with a silver tip, which played ten records. The needles were available in loud and mellow volume types.
Beautiful! I have a small business too, and the best days have been the few when my daughter works with me. She's now 25. I will always love tackling a job with her.
Fabulous transformation by the father/daughter team. Beautiful new life transfused into the tech of the early 20th century. Wonderful patience and attention to detail. Thanks for posting.
That dog is absolutely adorable! The last shot with the dog chilling out looking outside and listening to the Victrola is so heartwarming. I love watching you transform items like this. I was amazed at how much those plates brightened up without looking worn out. I’m glad you know what to do when the spring inside the motor unrolls like that, because my first reaction would’ve been four lettered and foul.
My grandparents had the exact same one. We used to play it all the time when we went to their house. Our favorite record was 'Hallelujah I'm a Bum'. Some people thought it sounded scary because the sound was so scratchy, but I loved it. My brother still has it.
Y’all did a wonderful job! My daddy and I restored a Victrola together. I followed his instructions. Thanks for sharing this. It brought back nice memories.
When you are 107 years old, you get a new slop bucket! 😅 Loved the music throughout the video. Great to see you two working together. Stunning piece...Wow...just Wow!
Another outstanding job! It was a real pleasure to watch you working with dad on this one. I really appreciate people who like to restore old furniture the craftsmanship is unparalleled by today's standards. Congrats on another beautiful restoration.
WOW Trena and John, what a brilliant and precise restoration, you two are the REAL Dynamic Duo, cheers!!!🥰😘😘💕👌👍👍💪 oh by the way loved seeing shop dog again, such a placid pooch!!🐩
My grandmother had one just like this. She was an ambulance driver in England during WW2. It's nice to see this one brought back to its gorgeous regal appearance
Honestly I heartily Appreciate Mr. Thomson for his Meticulous Precision at this Age. Of course not at all to miss you Trena...... You have a Tremendous Commitment and Finnesse in Workmanship...... ❤❤❤
The many talents of Trena! You have a lovely singing voice! I have to admit when you took apart that spring, I wasn’t sure it would go back in. I’m always amazed at the work you and your dad do to repair a piece, I never considered that fixing a motor might be part of restoring furniture. Excellent and thank you for sharing!
Beautiful restoration Trena, so nice to see your dad working on vintage audio and applying all hiw knowledge. As you know vintage audio is my thing so i appreciate this one even more. Thank's for sharing :-)
Such beautiful restoration. That piece will be around for another 100 years (at the very least)! Absolutely gorgeous! Love the happiness on both your faces. Clearly, you are both enjoying working together (as long as John can find things since you’ve re-organized the shop!!😂) Glad to see Shop Dog is on duty, scaring away any would-be robbers! No chance of that in between doggy naps and scritches! 🐾🐶
I have a Decca 10 portable player. I used to get my needles from GC Electronics., They sold them as replaceable tips for voltmeters. My Grandmother had a very similar player and she had needles made from cactus spines as well as steel. They were easier on the records but wore out very fast. It is wonderful to see such great work. I look forward to your postings.
What a gem you Trena has given to us. The priviledge to see you both working together. A rare vision we see nowadays. Thank you thank you. God bless you all.
Greetings from Mannheim in Germany. Your humor between you both is so lovely. I had to laugh very much when you sang into the speaker. Wunderfull voice. I'm always impressed of your marvelous work.
Trena, I cannot help feeling tenderness when I see you working with your dad. I lost mine to cancer in 2007, he was as much a role model to me as yours seem to be to you, although I do not have the same profession as his (he was a military pilot). I hope you enjoy your dad's company for a long time to come! Give him my best regards, will you? Hugs from Sao Paulo, Brazil.❤
Amazing! My family has had the larger version of this same cabinet (With the slide-out whiskey tray), but I've never seen another like it. These were indeed made in Eastern Canada. I'm glad I found this video because it looks wonderful and doesn't need refinishing. The player itself has some damage, and now I know how to do what I need to fix it. Thanks so much!
It's really heart warming to see you working with your father. It brings back great memories to me. You are a lucky daughter to be able to work with your Dad. Cherish the moments. ❤
Beautifull video because I ear you laughing and joking with you dad. You are so lucky, both of you, to have that daugther-dad bonding. Live long and proper. Love you❤
Job well done ❤. I enjoy watching you work with wood. It always looks like a labor of love. And to work together with your Dad, that’s just the best. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of furniture with us. Making the antique ‘new’ again.
Just as good as the first viewing. I still have an RCA "Nipper" figurine given to me when I left RCA Photophone (their division that co-invented sound for motion pictures - still in use till digital took over in the 1990s/2000s).
What a beautiful instrument. I am so pleased that it is now preserved and able to play for another hundred years. Today’s music producers all evolved from the likes of this beautiful machine. You and your Dad remain a wonderful team - each with knowledge complimentary to the other. I wish you both well. 👍🏻🐶
Love seeing you and your Dad tackle a project together. Kudos to both of you for not only being to source the parts to get the gramaphone up and running but for all the hard work you had to do on the engine itself. The customer must be super thrilled to actually be able to use the grammaphone to hear records from another era. This video felt like watching an episode of the Repair Shop where so much effort and hard work goes into restoring sentimental items.
How awesome it must be to work with your dad. I must admit, im a bit jealous. That centrifugal governor was used a lot 100+ years ago on steam equipment, and those balls are the balls from the expression "balls out", which means the machine is operating at full (governed) speed.
Thank you Trina. My Dad had the same quiet manner and smile as your Dad. We're very lucky ladies to have fathers like ours. You have given me delightful memories today

The saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none." You and your dad seem to be masters of all!

Interesting video and well done! I have one of those blue reproducers or soundboxes. They were replacement ones made by Goldring, maybe as late as the 1950s. Probably would have had a Victor Exhibition reproducer originally. Thanks 👍 😀
it's you I've subscribed to you
@@andrewmerritt9113 Hi Andrew, nice to see you here. I thought this was a very interesting video. Thanks 👍 😀
As late as 1956, my parents rented a summer lodge in the Adirondacks with no electricity. Our sole evening's entertainment came from that same model of Victrola. So the night sounds were the crickets and Paul Whiteman. Thanks for preserving many memories of many people.
🥰
It’s so nice to see you and your dad working together Trenna. Your Victrola turned out beautifully! ❤
Thankyou for reposting this video, I was disappointed that I wasn’t able to see the end of it before. Lovely job between you and your dad. You make a wonderful team
Yea sorry. Had a few edits 🥰
It’s so good to see your dad out with you in the shop! Your family is amazing ❤
It really is!
I love the memories of playing with the one we had, but it was very had to dance to. That was early 1950s. Great work.
What a treat to see you with your father, the dog was saying please let me out what ever you are listening to is dreadful. LOL
Lol
What a beautiful job, Trena. This piece is absolutely stunning. Thank you for the lesson on the workings of this. It was very interesting and lovely to see both you and your father work on it together. 😘💕🇦🇺

Hello cute pup! Trena & Kohn, thank you for sharing your knowledge. Loved the music, too.
Our pleasure!
Very nice work ! Love the continued restorations for older radios, Victrolas, etc !
Many thanks!
Beautiful! I have a small business too, and the best days have been the few when my daughter works with me. She's now 25. I will always love tackling a job with her.
That is awesome!
I have one of these from my mom’s farm. RIP mom.
Beautiful work❤
What a team the two of you make! You are both amazing.
A magnificent and stunning restoration. Kudos on bringing a piece of living entertainment history back to life. It was a simpler time indeed.
Fabulous transformation by the father/daughter team. Beautiful new life transfused into the tech of the early 20th century. Wonderful patience and attention to detail. Thanks for posting.

As always, I smile when I see you've posted a new video! Love seeing you and your Dad working together. Keep 'em coming, Trena! ❤👍🏻
Thank you! Will do!
Love the music you are playing. And love seeing this Gramophone cleaned up! Awesome work. Thank you!!

Thanks for the video :)
Good Sunday Trena,i like so much or vídeos.stay good.kiss for you
Thanks for showing the spring cleaning ;-) My Victrola needs that. I had restored the pickup and my Grandson age 4 has been playing it for years.
Glad to help!
Good job, it looks like a million bucks. My grandfather was 9 years old when that thing was made, certainly a different age.
Trena - you are such an awesome woman. I loved seeing you and your father work together on this project. The best to you.
Thank you so much!
When you are 107 years old, you get a new slop bucket! 😅 Loved the music throughout the video. Great to see you two working together. Stunning piece...Wow...just Wow!
Lol
My Mom had that same model. My son has it now, still works great. When Mom bought it, it had a couple dozen records with it.
Repairing with the OG.... amazing ❤
Indeed it is!
I love watching you strip the wood, totally fascinating watching your process
Another outstanding job! It was a real pleasure to watch you working with dad on this one. I really appreciate people who like to restore old furniture the craftsmanship is unparalleled by today's standards. Congrats on another beautiful restoration.
WOW Trena and John, what a brilliant and precise restoration, you two are the REAL Dynamic Duo, cheers!!!🥰😘😘💕👌👍👍💪 oh by the way loved seeing shop dog again, such a placid pooch!!🐩
🥰
We have one that was given to us 50 years ago. Now that I've seen the workings of the motor, I think I will take it apart and lube it.
The old radio gram have a sound all there own congratulations..
The dream team 👍 Best music I've heard on U-tube for a long time. 👐
🥰
As a kid I would see these in homes but now only in antique stores. It's beautiful.
You and your dad are charming. Your channel is so raw and real. Not overly produced and not scripted. Beautiful work.
My favorite subjects in one video here. Love it! Thx Trena and John! 👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video, thanks for sharing. Nice to see John and always time for #shopdogs 👏
My grandmother had one just like this. She was an ambulance driver in England during WW2. It's nice to see this one brought back to its gorgeous regal appearance
Very cool
Great video. It was well done. Thanks for taking time out of your life, to share your dad's and your own skill with us.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Honestly I heartily Appreciate Mr. Thomson for his Meticulous Precision at this Age.
Of course not at all to miss you Trena...... You have a Tremendous Commitment and Finnesse in Workmanship...... ❤❤❤
Hi Trena , I always enjoy you bring new life to antique furniture
Thank you so much 🤗
Trena, the dust is unacceptable, lol. Fantastic job. I've been watching your videos for awhile and I enjoy every one. Incredible work.
Thank you so much! Lol
Hello John and Trena...beautiful music in the background...you should put it more often...restoration is excellent as always...Job well done!!
Thankyou!

Lol thanks!
Sounded great to me, made me think of old Black and white movie. ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻
I'm proud of you and your dad doing all the mechanics work on it.
I have a Decca 10 portable player. I used to get my needles from GC Electronics., They sold them as replaceable tips for voltmeters. My Grandmother had a very similar player and she had needles made from cactus spines as well as steel. They were easier on the records but wore out very fast. It is wonderful to see such great work. I look forward to your postings.
Thankyou!
How nice is that to listen to! Great job Trena and John 👏👏👏
Thanks!
What a gem you Trena has given to us. The priviledge to see you both working together. A rare vision we see nowadays. Thank you thank you. God bless you all.
Wow, thank you!
Greetings from Mannheim in Germany. Your humor between you both is so lovely. I had to laugh very much when you sang into the speaker. Wunderfull voice. I'm always impressed of your marvelous work.
Glad you enjoyed it lol
Mahogany is one of my favorites--I like the way it can almost sparkle.
What a treasure, working with your dad! It is marvelous to see such skill in one room. Well done you two!
Yes, thank you
Trena, I cannot help feeling tenderness when I see you working with your dad. I lost mine to cancer in 2007, he was as much a role model to me as yours seem to be to you, although I do not have the same profession as his (he was a military pilot). I hope you enjoy your dad's company for a long time to come! Give him my best regards, will you? Hugs from Sao Paulo, Brazil.❤
Oh Thankyou and I’m sorry for your loss. I do cherish our time together it is something I thought I would never have again. Cheers love
So beautiful and a treasure for sure. ❤
Amazing! My family has had the larger version of this same cabinet (With the slide-out whiskey tray), but I've never seen another like it. These were indeed made in Eastern Canada. I'm glad I found this video because it looks wonderful and doesn't need refinishing. The player itself has some damage, and now I know how to do what I need to fix it. Thanks so much!
It's really heart warming to see you working with your father. It brings back great memories to me. You are a lucky daughter to be able to work with your Dad. Cherish the moments. ❤
Yes Thankyou so much!
Beautifull video because I ear you laughing and joking with you dad. You are so lucky, both of you, to have that daugther-dad bonding. Live long and proper. Love you❤
😊 thank you
I love my Victrola! I love that era and the music is fabulous! Especially at Christmas. I have Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs on 78! ❤️
Oh very nice
Job well done ❤. I enjoy watching you work with wood. It always looks like a labor of love. And to work together with your Dad, that’s just the best. Thank you for sharing this beautiful piece of furniture with us. Making the antique ‘new’ again.
Thank you very much!
Beautiful and so cool.
Love your work
Truly a blessing to have Dad around. You can still be a child and blow in to the horn with him looking at you😊
lol yep
Just as good as the first viewing. I still have an RCA "Nipper" figurine given to me when I left RCA Photophone (their division that co-invented sound for motion pictures - still in use till digital took over in the 1990s/2000s).
