Sounds like you have some grounding noise from the ceramic pick-up. May need a new cartridge or in the least make sure the contacts are secure. I don't really play any 45's on mine so not sure how to answer the question about the adapter, does it play other records at the correct speed? Good luck -Ted

I'll send you pictures in a while, I'm visiting my folks in California, (I gave my Mom The Magnavox when I got the victrola) and I misplaced the usb cable for my camera.

It's from 1958. Stereo was relatively new on the consumer market though recordings were being produced. In '59 RCA started shipping "Dual Amplifier" models in several cabinet styles similar to this one. If the sound is dropping in and out on the phonograph only...It's the cartridge. I got ...

I see those on ebay all the time, sometimes brand new ones even. Good luck, Ted

Hi I'm Ted and wanted to introduce myself and show of my favorite piece which I currently use daily as my primary Stereo. I use my PC soundcard to playback my mp3's and CD's throu the tape input sections of two amps in the console. The Changer works also. A nice old guy in California fixed it for me...

I have an RCA New Orthophonic High fidelity console in which I have installed two Model SHF-3 amplifiers. Does any one here have acces to a schematic or in the very least the tube complement? Both amps are working each being dedicated to their perspective Right and Left channel signals however the o...
