I am new to this, but recently purchased a 1963 Sears Silvertone Stereo Console, model #4081. Can anyone tell me where to find parts for this? I also purchased a 1951 Philco 51-1730, and I am looking for parts for it as well. Both units power up, but I can't tune in any stations, and turntables hum but don't turn.

Word of warning - don't "power up" these units until they've been gone over completely.
In a moment's notice major damage can result, costing much more to fix.
As for parts - the research/parts/service should really be left up to someone reputable and qualified to work on vintage equipment.
It's much too complex for the average person to locate parts past simple items such as needles.
