So records now play good. I will still go into it and clean,lube ETC .. Maybe paint? This was the biggest challenge so far... And I thought that the other console I did a 42-1012 and replacing the rubber wire was bad.. Piece of cake compared to this..
So now have 3 working out of the 6 I got recently. The 6 I purchased were a Philco 46-1201,46-1203,46-350 and RCA T55, and V210 with a Stromberg Carlson 440M..
Working so far are the Stromberg, RCA T55 and the 46-1201.. Working on the V210 now,capacitor replacement..
Skip...
The resistor in question was probably added at the factory to tamp down the output of the original Rochelle Salt crystal cartridge which would have been about 3 volts, it probably died, or wore out, and was replaced with a newer ceramic one which puts about maybe 1 volt if you are lucky. The orginal one in my Bing Crosby is dead so it will likely be replaced by a more modern ceramic element cartridge, I could rebuild the original but since it can't be seen there isn't much point.
