Maintaining a gramophone is not purely an aesthetic act — it has real financial logic. A well-preserved 1920s Victor record might be worth several thousand yuan today; the same record with severe neglect might be worth tens of yuan, or nothing at all.
The cost-benefit ratio of maintenance is extraordinarily skewed on gramophones: a few hundred yuan in professional care can protect collections worth tens or hundreds of thousands. This is not 'over-maintenance'; it is insurance. The same logic applies to modern gramophones: if an 8,950 yuan flagship model cracks its wooden cabinet due to environmental humidity, repair costs could reach thousands of yuan — problems that could have been entirely avoided with proper placement at the time of purchase.
FangService gramophone users should especially value maintenance. The wooden cabinets, precision bearings, and electronic components of modern retro gramophones are as sensitive to humidity and vibration as antique gramophones. Correct usage habits — stable placement, regular cleaning, appropriate lubrication — let a new gramophone sing with the stability and durability of an old one.
