Philco battery phono
#1

Hi. I have a very old battery powered Philco record player, which seems to play up to 7" children's 78's. It works on 4 D batteries, is, as they state, fully transistorized, is in a small green cloth covered wood case about the size, and shape of a 45 rpm carry case, Has a selenium rectifier feeding motor, guess from wiring is that it was used to cut down motor noise, and has 2 striped black beuty caps on boad along with 3 small metal transistors, some sort of block in middle of board, and aud out transformer. Motor is non-running, but, amp seems to be alive. Anyone know anything about this, and could anyone find a schematic on it for me? Sorry, I can find no model information on it anywhere. Front mounst 4" speaker with deco shaped metal grill in front. Thanks. Can get a picture of it , if you like... Thanks. Bill Cahi.. Icon_smile
