I got this from a very good friend who also collects TV's yesterday. The TV and radio work wonderfully, the record changer works, (I'm listening to an ELO LP right now) but it needs a new needle badly. I brought this thing home yesterday after three months of waiting, and I couldn't be happier with it.

Nice set---Don't play anymore records on it until you can replace the stylus or possibly the cartridge.Cartridges that old lose their tracking ability(compliance) with age even with a new stylus.For a unit that old--its in amazing condition. |

I worked for a vacuum tube manufacturer.
Do you know why US TV picture tubes were always in odd sizes? 19 inch, 21 inch, 25 inch, etc. The was a superstition among the US manufacturers who believed that even sized tubes were not as reliable. I say US manufacturers, because some Japanese TV tubes came in even sizes, with nary a problem. |
