RCA 45 PLAYERS SERIES

The cartridge was replaced with an Astatic 51-1 purchased in kit-form (K45-B) from. The supplied parts and instructions in the kit were good so they get my recommendation. Next, a notch must be cut with a sharp blade to replicate the original. The new wheel is applied and held in place using super glue. First, the old wheel must be completely removed and the surface cleaned and prepared. Replacement of the idler and motor mounts was straightforward, but you need to do a bit of work to retrofit the original cam. I purchased a kit from 'Super 45 Sound' on eBay which contained a replacement idler wheel, new rubber surround to be used on the existing cam and new motor mounts.

The crystal cartridge barely produced any sound as it too, was dried and worn.

While the motor and turntable did operate (albeit noisily and weakly), the cam mechanism was so worn and dried out that automated dropping would not activate. Internally, the chassis was also in good overall shape, but AC wiring was dangerously exposed and the phono cable was damaged.Ī new AC cable and phono cable were installed and after lubricating the motor, etc. I ran the changer to see if the motor and turntable were operative and to see if the cartridge produced sound. I purchased this record changer in October of 2017 in overall good condition, but it did not play and exterior was quite dirty with scratches and tape residue. In French: TSF for Télégraphie sans fil.Īll listed radios etc. Here you find 5008 models, 2981 with images and 4058 with schematics for wireless sets etc. See 'Data change' for further contributors.
