Philco 500 Series Console Stereo
#2

(03-04-2012, 07:29 PM)pcdj64 Wrote:  Icon_e_confused
i have a 1982 philco series 500 AM/FM/Cassette turntable console.
the cabinet needs a little work but is in decent shape.
the radio and turntable work great but not the cassette.
the door has a piece broken off where the latch catches it
the latch itself is seized and does not move when eject is pressed
my mom got this console brand new and has recently given it to me
i can no find any parts anywhere for it new or used.
i would like to replace the tape mechanism with the door included
this console is definitely worth the investment to fix it.

if anyone can help e it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and Welcome to the Phourm!!
Sorry to say that most the set that we are dealing with on the Phourm here are much older say from 1928-1960 or so. Sorry. I understand that the set has some value to you but most here wouldn't give it much thought. I think your best bet on trying to find a door for it would be Ebay to find similar unit. Another thought is finding a door with the same type of hinge and release mechanism. You may be able to cut out the broken areas and glue in pieces from that door onto your broken unit.
Hope this helps
Terry
