I love this unit and they are such n easy restore.
New cart, new caps, oil, and sometimes a new idler rubber.
Here she is!

Very nice, Kirk! I have one too but mine seems to have the start of silver mica disease. The 1948 and 1949 1201's are prone to that.
Thanks gents!
Really Greg??
I have restored at least 5 of these and never had that happen. Thank heavens because I am no pro with replacing the mica sheets with resistors? caps? I cant even remember,
Kirk, I've never seen one of these before. It is gorgeous...Lucky Dog!!
Nice job Kirk. I bet it plays great!
She does play quite well.. I will get a video and post a link when i can find time.. Probably after Kutztown.
Yes I should have said the 1948 model 1201 and 1948 - 49 model 1401's use those mini IF cans that are prone to silver mica. Never had that happen on the 1946-47 model 1201's, as they use the larger IF cans, but my 49-1401 has that familiar whoosing / crackling sound at low volume.
