Yes...4 C cells. Yes... 3 Mullard Transistors. I Searched the web a bit after posting, and found a site that includes a video of one of them playing. http://electricgramophone.nl/resto/1795136.htm jr |

Here's my newly-restored GE RT-1530 "hi-fi". Mono main unit with a ceramic stereo cartridge for use with the optional second channel speaker-amplifier:
More pics: http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v6...el/GE%20Hi-Fi/ Both amplifiers are identical, using a pair of 6AQ5s driving a pair of 6 inch full-range speakers. It sounds good! |

Nice! Looks like an early stereo model from '58-'59.

The record changer in your Westinghouse was made by General Instruments. Sorry for the late reply, but I just joined the forum.

Here's my Italian made RCA "stereo orthophonic high fidelity" 5 tube phonograph from about 1961.
I may also post some pics of two Italian made Emerson tube phonographs and several other European and Italian phonographs (Lesa, Telefunken...) if someone is interested. Last edited by Kiwick; 08-31-2010 at 04:55 PM. |

Single play Emerson from the early 60s, made in Emerson's italian plant in Florence, this phonograph has a really bizarre and clever push-pull amp where the phase splitter is actually the volume pot
mid 60s Lesa "Studium ST1", a really well made, durable phonograph Kosmophon slot loading 45 player, this particular model remained in production from 1967-68 to 1983-84, units made after the mid 70s had silicon transistors in place of the germanium ones of older units. More to come... Last edited by Kiwick; 09-04-2010 at 04:55 AM. |

Looking for idler
Hi! I noticed on radiotvnut's 7-16-10 post an RCA R-JY 45 player. I just picked up one of these and of course it needs a replacement drive idler. Has anyone got a source for new ones or am I out of luck. Or... has anyone here made new idlers from scratch? Thanks for any help you can give.

Ed Crockett at www.vintagelectronics.com can rebuild your old idler wheel for this and most other phonographs. It should run you somewhere around $30 including shipping. Ed has rebuilt many wheels for me over the years and he does an excellent job.

Gary has reasonable rates on re built idlers.
http://thevoiceofmusic.com/catalog/p...ls_turrets.asp It won't save you any money, but, tell him Bill Cahill sent you. I''m a very satisfied customer of his. Bill Cahill
