Just wanted to show my recent BOL table top Broadcast/SW/BOL player.  Was playing Holiday Inn 78's and others  from 1942, sounding great.

Here are a few more that I restored.  The 41 is a manual, with no radio, and the 42 is the one with the challenging record changer.  All fun.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM
