I have a set of those guts upstairs that I took out of an ugly GE console. IT works, pretty well, actually. That amp is found in several GE stereo/record players. I have that amp chassis in an RC-1590 C and I use it more than almost any other stereo record player I own. The amp chassis has a power t...

I'd be interested in knowing your cleaning methods used on the transformers. I admire that level of workmanship. I used to do things like that when I was restoring cars, but I was a lot younger then......

Dennis, I had a Silvertone console radio, a 12-tuber with a 12" speaker that had a recording feature. It had two tone arms, one weighed as much as a small car, for recording, the other was still pretty heavy by modern standards, but it was for playback. I don't remember the model number anymore...

Look near the bottom of the ARF home page. "Radio Classified" is the board for things like that.

Maybe this will help>

"I fiddled with it....." is a common cure for many maladies afflicting old electronic equipment.......

Good job!

In the way of being the devil's advocate....... ;) ;) You might be able to use a high-output ceramic cartridge if you can get the tone arm weight right. That radio will have a pre-amp stage that would build up the output of a ceramic cartridge so it could drive the output to sufficient volume. I saw...

No tape pressure on the capstan?

The belts in the tape deck may have turned to goo, but they aren't too tough to change. Otherwise it might work right like it is. You can't beat Newcomb for being tough. They are hard to find parts for, in my experience.

Good thoughts and prayers certainly coming your way. I hope you can find some relief.

Hadn't heard of this one, but have been a recent victim. What will the scammers come up with next? :evil: :evil: The wife's son sent me a $50 gift card for my birthday. I always go to the store the card is drawn on and check to make sure the gift card is good. I don't know why, really, I do this, ot...

You could also send Gary at VM Enthusiasts an email to see what he could provide. He is listed on this board.

Not too toot the horn of ARF, but if you get on their Parts board, West Tech is listed as being a rebuilder of crystal cartridges.

My uncle had an Admiral console much like that one, if not identical to it. It had two chassis with a 5U4 rectifier and P-P 6BQ5 audio. It sounded really nice. He got it from the Columbia Record Club, on a promotion. Circa 1963.

Admiral. No guess on the changer.

I was in AJ this afternoon looking for a car show that didn't exist..... :oops: Gas on the Trail was $4.43, down the road about three miles, $4.94. Go figure. They have to haul it farther to the Trail.....Both of these were Shell stations. We are thinking about joining Costco. I really don't like th...

I know an owner-operator who has an older Pete 359 that is paid for. He has parked his truck and is driving for Walmart while fuel costs are so high. He was leased to a local dairy. He says it isn't worth wearing out his truck while he loses money. He can go back to the dairy once things return to s...

$4.99 at the convenience store on the corner. Up 35 cents from last week.

Our two favorite car shows are coming up in February this year. Hint, Hint........

I haven't heard when Florence show is on this year. The weather is typically really nice for that show. Hint, hint.....

REALLY nice.......

This Friday is the first cruise-in of the season in AJ that I like to attend. With gas prices like they are, it will cost $25 to put the key in the ignition of the Buick. Premium is close to $6 while Diesel is $6.29. My budget for Buick gas this winter will have to be $100 minimum per month. That, p...

In 1969, Grandpa and Dad went to the Farm Progress Show, and, to make a long story short, came home with an Oliver 1655 gasser that the Sharp Bros. in Indy used for a show tractor at the show. Everything that could be unbolted had been chromed. 23.1 rear tires and fat front tires. Behind it was a ne...

Nice juke box, Chris! I wanted one, but never found the right one.
