I picked up a suitcase Admiral player model YH1421 I'm looking for a latch piece or pieces for the lid on this player. No clue what it looks like or original part numbers. If anyone has a parts graveyard or knows someone who parts out players? Even good photos of the parts, if someone else owns this...

Wasn't that much effort and I enjoy working on things like this. The cam wheel repair works flawlessly. I just took a gamble and tried the same repair on the drive wheel. I was prepared for disappointment but I hadn't yet replaced the cartridge so it appeared to be successful at first. I cleaned and...

I just rebuilt a 45 player as stated in subject line. Mechanically was working perfect. I coated the changer cam with plastidip. The motor drive wheel rubber was kind of hardened so I decided to also coat those wheels with the plastidip. I figured if it worked I had nothing to lose. Well I tested it...

Ill just make something that functions regardless of originality.

Now I have nothing and also nothing when touching wires coming out of back of cartridge.

I had a broken needle but tested and found noise response from remnant of needle when rubbing finger across. S...

Sounds like a wear item. Any idea if there are replacement parts out there for this or should I maybe try cramming some felt in the hole?

Got this sears Silvertone model 7056 and it was missing the tone arm rest. I'm restoring it and have no idea what it looks like or is made out of. Can't find a good pic of this unit online. Does anyone have one they could take photos and measurements of so I can recreate one or even better... Sell m...

I have an RCA Victor Victrola New Vista console. Plays great but have a question about the needle cartridge area. As far as I can tell from research, there should be some sort of foam or brush piece sticking out the front bottom of the tone arm in front of the needle? The cartridge seems secure. It ...
