Hello, I own a truly amazing Emerson wood console stereo, Model 866, series B. I am assuming it is from the early 1960's. It has a tube amp, with an AM/FM radio and a turntable. It plays beautifully, and the sound is warm while the bass stays clear and tight - it's a beautiful machine. The reason I am writing is to learn anything I can about it, and suggestions for finding replacement parts when the need arises. I would love to get a new needle. The number 533 is written on it. Thank you.

Check this item number on ebay, 130169613106. Does it look like your needle? I think you are right about early 60's date. Your tube amp has 4 tubes?
