Many times you can peel a length of the shield away from the cable, a half-inch or so. Then twist it into a shape that you can solder to ground. I wouldn't be so concerned about putting it back like it was as long as it is grounded to the same spot. The schematic shows that shield grounded to chass...

Would a parts adapter help any? I should have a couple junkers around here that don't work. How can I tell, without taking anything apart, whether the parts you need are good? Greg, The part that is damaged is the centerpost body as I wrote. If both sets of knives and shelves are sticking out from ...

I have 2 of these that each had one side of the separator knives and record support shelves collapsed. I was curious about what would fix that. Upon dis-assembly, I found that each adapter had been broken inside the centerpost body assembly. This appears to be due to someone forcing the adapter onto...

Yes, I understand the diagram.

It looks like I will have to figure out how to
connect 2 pieces of shielded wire into the
holes of those 2 pins, once cleared of solder.

The separate power supply is re-capped and functional. Dave1138 did me a favor and checked the radio/phono chassis, and said it has a good chance to work with a re-cap. So, I'll do that later this month. What I want to do is wire an RCA jack to the phono input plug, so I can plug in a record changer...

My readings about Scott Radio Labs is that after Mr. Scott left in 1945, the company continued making quality products. This model sure ain't no junker, and I've read very good things about them on some other forums from the 510 owners. The company even published its own info magazine, cool. https:/...

Changers were Webster-Chicago using several models.
One W-C in the 510 had the G.E. V-R cartridge.

Plenty of power in this gal.

Ready for restoration !

This is a changer w/base that I bought because I like the smooth tonearm lowering, which I observed from previous Garrards serviced for other folk. I had a trying experience during its service with the main cam gear trip pawl not moving, as I did with the 3500 unit. I adjusted my vise-grip carefully...

Yeah, I was trying to remember "Ensign", as I've worked on
only a couple of them, and I knew is wasn't a V-M changer.

So, the console dates mid-1960's from the Lafayette catalog
listing.

I might try to find someone with a Face Smook acct to see
if the owner can supply the console model #.

I cannot make out the console brand that might be in one photo. I'm interested in what brand record changer that is in there. No room at my inn, but $20 for a stylish mid-century stereo cabinet is a deal. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1089592597124006/?ref=search&referral_code=null&a...

This little orphan turned out pretty good. Three tube with silicon diode rectifier from 1960. Two 4 inch speakers for each L/R channels. Post-re-capping, the RS-184 amp is very quiet. One set of stereo speakers detach from the cabinet. The original RCA phono cart was defunct, and I replaced it with ...

From a 3 tube portable stereo SES-4JE. The RP-212 has slight changes in the cycling mech that warrant paying attention and taking the usual photos as you dis-assemble. The rubber gum motor mounts had melted and melded in their mount holes. Took a lot of time to clean that gunk off. Motor refurb is c...

Compared to the difficulities of the Garrard 3500 a while back, this changer was thankfully s.o.p. for service. Unique to these models is the special design spindle retainer clip that must be replaced in a designated position. That is only addressed in a factory manual, not in Sams. I marked the pos...

Tracking for the E-V 275 is 2-4 grams. Cycling and speed test-out today with power all good, and cartridge sounds good. I found the changer needed the set-down position adjusted, so that the end of record play would engage at appropriate position. Another Garrard 3000 series appears to be heading my...

This changer is a few years newer than the W801 I recently serviced. The motor rotor spun by hand was off, and when I opened up the motor, the bearings were bone dry. After cleaning and added turbine oil, the rotor spins like a top when rotated. I was peeved some smart design engineer at Collaro cha...

Appears to be a Zenith X900 series louvered model.

I've always liked the looks of V-M devices of that era. But what were they thinking when they they put three tubes right underneath the filter cap? Chris Campbell Yes, I realized that when I put the amp back in, and checked the new caps temp after running the amp. They were toasty to touch. Caps ar...

This gal was sittin' in bubble wrap on a chair for some time, and I forgot what was in it, so I had a nice surprise opening her up. Amp is 35W4, 12AT6, 50C5, with a pristine 5 x 7 speaker. All original V-M branded tubes there. The 1200A changer's original idler wheel was still good ! The original So...

Here's the big sister to the mono G.E. V631. The case was evenly covered with some kind of nicotine looking stuff. It did not have cigarette smell, than goodness, and cleaned up fine. The RD-500 changer sub-plate actually requires some special G.E. service tools to get it apart. I use long cotton ti...
