I have a philco 42-1012 console which I have been slowly fixing over a number of years. I heard a restored 42-1012 playing a 78 on you tube and was very impressed with the quality of the sound so I decided to start working on mine again. The bell idler on my beam-of-light has a flat spot and is cracked .So I need to get my idlers repaired and I'd like to know who does the best job of repairing them?

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
