Bill and Dan,
I am glad you all enjoyed some fond memories of
the G.E. player.
I have an affectionate attachement to
restoring these little gals.

Classic Avocado G.E. Player
A recent client wanted a record player for his grand daughter, who is starting a great interest in record albums. I told him these little G.E. SS players sound really good for their size. He asked me to find one, and here it is. In great 1960's shape; a little servicing, a new stylus, a clean up, an...

Re: H H Scott Carlyle console
The changer appears to be a Garrard 2025TC.
They are nice ones with a smooth tonearm set down
on the record.
They are not difficult to service, cycling design a bit similar to
the ubiquitous BSRs.

Re: Motorola 3- channel SK76 date? vs. tube compliment
The Sams 591-9 dates from 1962, with 6V6 tubes in that chassis.
As Bill noted, there may have been a chassis design change,
over several years.
Your chassis numbers will probably give the clue.
That amp looks like it will cook bread !

Philco 40-185 Floor Radio Deal
This is a really nice looking Philco, with new grille
cloth provided.
At $25, I hope someone grabs it to treat it well
after it is restored.

1953 RCA 3-HES-5
I've restored one of these players, and they are nice. A V-M 950 changer, 8 inch speaker, and PP 50C5, a very quiet amplifier as I remember. These also came with a very stylish wood stand that had another speaker in it. I'm glad it's out of that super hot attic at least ! https://www.facebook.com/ma...

Magnavox W801
First time servicing this model, which was a re-design from the L/S/W 600 series of changers. Some good changes, and a few less than improved ones. First, there is only one idler wheel that runs the platter. The cycling mechanism now is similar to other changers, with the platter gear post designed ...

I think this might be a Magnasonic.

Got this gal back together and I am impressed with how good it sounds. I like the stylized "Phonola" emblem on the cabinet. I took Greg's general advice on increasing the cathode bypass cap to enhance the bass. (50L6 output in this case) I really like this 3 tube hot chassis amp's design. ...

Re: RCA 45-EY-3
The owner is back from vacation, and picked up the RCA. He was tickled to see and hear it. Against my protestations, he gave me $50 more for my efforts. He has a Garrard 3000 and a B&O changer for servicing later on. AND, I have 3 more clients who left two 1960's V-M's and one Magnavox W801 for ...

This appears to be in very good condition, with some
original ephemera docs.
Hey, I can probably get the changer working, if
the potential new owners ship it !
