Hello once again i never overwind my machines i don't care if the record doesn't play all the way through, most of my machine's come from the 1900s and i care for them by not overwinding especially if they are single spring motors. Also the records can have an affect especially if they are warn or scuffed. Thanks again hope you post some more video's soon. 😂😊😅
Essentially, the tighter the spring is wound, the more chance of it breaking (though there can be other reasons for spring breakages, too). What I normally do is wind the spring until the winding handle starts to become stiff. Usually, that is then enough to play a whole record. If not, then I can continue to wind after the stiffness sets in, but I never wind so much that the handle refuses to go around at all. Different people will have different approaches to this, so this is only my opinion.
But they are supposed to have this weight. Both the records and reproducers are designed to work best at a pretty substantial weight. My guess is the phonograph will be quieter and have the same problems a modern too light stylus has, like problems with vocal S sounds if lowered too much.
Thanks to the 'gooseneck' tone arm its so simple to add elastic, a spring, or even a counterweight. Think they're a bit ambitious expecting such playing time out of such a small spring, though have just managed to play a 12" disc from a similar motor. Judging by the space within, I'd guess a double spring option would have been available. As for drag, I experienced this with some Durium records. A little furniture polish soon remedied this, but am always wary of the long term effects of lubricants. One collector (the late EMG Colonel) always applied candle wax to his discs. Would imagine its solvent free nature to be safe. Cleaning can also reduce drag caused by dirt.

What makes you think that fully winding up the motor is bad?

You have an ad in the middle of the song. FFS.
