Help? Question about a tube amp.

Electrically amplified phonographs or radio/phonographs and related components (approx. 1928-1990).

If you're talking about the connections to the cartridge, those connections pull right off and the wires can be re soldered to them. Some do have a plastic sleeve over them, so you'd want to remove those unless you like the smell of burning plastic and a dirty solder joint. --BB

Yes, that is where I'm having the issue, but I can no longer just "pull the connections". The wires have disintegrated along with the plastic shields where the two meet on the clips lol.
Fortunately I MAY be able to solder things back. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Well, it looks like you got one of the older record changers like the one pictured on the right, with a taller speed selection switch...they still work great, though. --BB

Found a vintage electronics repair shop. Just got back from dropping off my record player. They are going to do repair it, along with a light rebuild. Looking forward to having it back.
