48-1270 restoration in progress
#11

That turntable is a 3-speed unit and looks like it has a stereo crystal or ceramic cartridge installed. It is clearly not the original unit. The turntable looks like it may be from about 1951 and the cartridge from the 1960s. If the cartridge is ceramic it might still work, just may need a new stylus (needle). That type of stylus was as common as dirt and should be easy to get even today. If the cartridge is crystal it is likely bad, but easy to replace with ceramic.

You will not need (in fact can't use) the input transformer mentioned in an earlier post.
