Philco 42-RP1 and Syl's preamp circuit - varrojames - 10-23-2014

In a past post dated 1-11-2009 in the Philco Home Radio section entitled
"Found today in the local Goodwill", Phorum member Syl posted photos and/or diagrams of a small cartridge preamp circuit that could be used to
amplify the output of a cartridge. Syl described the circuit as being
almost postage stamp size and able to be mounted under the cabinet of
a Philco RP1 phonograph.

If anyone has a copy of the photos or diagram PLEASE re-post it or
PM me with photos and details. If anyone has used the circuit, I'd
love to know how well it has worked for you. I'm restoring a 42-rp1
and everything works except that the output to the transmitter is low
and its output is also low. I've used a deck style preamp to amplify the
signal to the transmitter but its not convenient to use the record player
that way.

Any info would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

I believe Syl is no longer with us but the discussion was with "gary rabbitt" who has posted relatively recently.  You might try sending him a PM to see if he retained those photos and schematics.
