I've restored 5 or 6 of these now and all of them needed new idler wheels for the phonograph and a new cartridge for the tone arm. Both can be purchased from TheVoiceofMusic.com
P51-3 Ceramic mono cartridge with 3 mil sapphire needle for 78 rpm records
(you may need to make two spacers out of metal or plastic tubing for under the mounting tabs on the cartridge to get the cartridge to sit out of the tone arm far enough. Other than that they fit perfect and sound good).
1434 phono idler wheel (go under Search by V-M Part Number and type 1434 in the search box next to it)
Good luck!
