Looking for reference photos Philco 41-601
#1

I have a Philco 41-601 on the bench. The electronics are working but the turntable has unfortunately been the victim of a "restorer" who added an ugly counterweight and uglier tone arm hold-down. 

If you own one of these or have access to one, I'd really appreciate some photos of what the tone arm looked like, from as many angles as possible. 

I'm fairly new here, so if there's a better place to be asking phono questions, I'm happy to ask there. 

Thank you.

Unfortunately the only photo we have in our Gallery is here:
https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1941b/#Model_41-601P

which I don't think is real helpful for you. Hopefull someone will have better pics.

Thank you!  That was actually very useful because it provided a piece of information I had not previously had, namely that the original turntable only ran at 78rpm.  That's good and bad news for this restoration.

OK if that helped then perhaps these links to images I found with a Google search will also:

As it happens, I had found that one. I wonder how the heavy the tracking pressure was... ah, more research.
