I have completed the restoration of this fine vintage Magnavox portable record player.
This is an automatic changer; up to six records can be stacked and the player will automatically cycle through them one after another.
It is in very good physical condition and works perfectly.
Please note the sparkling control panel and the lettering; there are no signs of wear.
Work performed during the restoration:
• The needle and needle cartridge were replaced with new components.
• The rubber drive idler that turns the platter was replaced with a refurbished unit.
• There are two AC power cords included.
One came with the player and may or may not be factory original, but fits very loosely in the AC power socket.
I purchased a like new used power cord.
It fits very snuggly.
• This unit is built so that the speakers can be detached if desired.
I bought new six foot long speaker cables.
This will allow the speakers to be placed 12 feet apart if desired.
• The mechanism was repaired as needed.
I cleaned the old grease and oil from the mechanism and relubricated.
• The four controls were cleaned using a high quality contact cleaner/lubricant.
• I adjusted the stylus (needle) pressure properly using a stylus pressure gauge.
Please note I am including the factory service manual (issued in 1967) that I bought.
I will also supply contact information of where the parts were purchased.
